Bunch III, Vinson Cunningham, Sherrilyn Ifill, Paul Farber, Siddhartha Mitter, Jeneé Osterheldt, Patrick Weems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book honors the life, death and legacy of Emmett Till through a kaleidoscope of 20th- and 21st-century photography. Both a reckoning with the past and a probing investigation into the current state of American life, If Emmett Till Lived presents a fictionalized narrative of the life Emmett Till might have lived had he returned home in 1955, rather than being murdered at the age of 14 while visiting family in Mississippi, a victim of the racial terror of Jim Crow rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Curated by writer and scholar Sarah Lewis, the more than 100 photographs from dozens of artists are drawn from the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Photography. Her selection of works recalls small but not insignificant moments in Till’s childhood as well as larger themes from his life’s unfulfilled promise. Collectively, Lewis’ selections present a poetic and profound photographic account of quotidian moments from a childhood and adulthood unrealized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotographers include: Dawoud Bey, Keith Carter, Teju Cole, Bruce Davidson, An-My Lê, Danny Lyon, Sally Mann, Diana Matar, Gordon Parks, Walter Rosenblum, Carrie Mae Weems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover \/ 8 x 10.5 in. \/ 256 pages \/ 90 color images \/ 105 duotone images\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DelMonico Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42655248482350,"sku":null,"price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/1113\/8094\/files\/a2_80f34270-158b-4ea9-a7db-5fcc40b6ad4e.jpg?v=1787866126","url":"https:\/\/shop.artsbma.org\/products\/if-emmett-till-lived-a-creative-monument","provider":"SHOP ARTS BMA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
