Title: Resurrecting Ruby
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
