Description: Victoria Law and Mariame Kaba introduce and reprint Zora Neale Hurston’s under-read critical reporting on the 1952 trial of Ruby McCollum, a Floridian Black woman prosecuted for shooting a prominent white doctor with whom she had been in an abusive relationship. The brown spiral bound zine is risograph-printed with brown ink and purple highlighted sections alongside collaged excerpts of newspaper clippings. Barnard student Kayla LeGrand contributed research and transcription and artist Neta Bomani the design. -- Claudia
Notes: Cover title.

This zine was made during the COVID-19 pandemic, but is not explicitly about the virus.

"The zine benefited from research support by Kayla LeGrand, a student at Barnard College who found the original Pittsburgh Courier articles and retyped Hurston's impressions to be included in this publication."
