Happy Pub Day to Maya Hislop, for Bodies in the Middle: Black Women, Sexual Violence, and Complex Imaginings of Justice! Hislop examines the lack of place that Black women experience, specifically when they are victims of sexual violence. Hislop uses both historical and literary analyses to explore how women, in the face of indifference and often hostility, have sought to redefine justice for themselves within a framework she calls "Afro-pessimistic justice."

Tomorrow, Juneteenth, ground will be broken on Boulevard Street for the newer and larger version of Cecil Williams's South Carolina Civil Rights Museum in Orangeburg. (The image is an architect's rendering of the principal façade of the new building.) I am looking forward to attending this important event as we all anticipate the expansion of this essential South Carolina institution!
