   |  |sey from Jim Crow era Georgia -
   |  |to the Yale Art Gallery－－a stu-
   |  |nningly vivid, full-color memo-
   |  |ir in prose and painted leathe-
   |  |r, with a foreword by Equal Ju-
   |  |stice Initiative founder Bryan-
   |  | Stevenson. Winfred Rembert gr-
   |  |ew up as a field hand on a Geo-
   |  |rgia plantation. He embraced t-
   |  |he Civil Rights Movement, endu-
   |  |red political violence, surviv-
   |  |ed a lynching, and spent seven-
   |  | years in prison on a chain ga-
   |  |ng. Years later, seeking a fre-
   |  |sh start at the age of 52, he -
   |  |discovered his gift and vision-
   |  | as an artist, and using leath-
   |  |er tooling skills he learned i-
   |  |n prison, started etching and -
   |  |painting scenes from his youth-
   |  |. Rembert\'s work has been exhi-
   |  |bited at museums and galleries-
   |  | across the country, profiled -
   |  |in the New York Times and more-
   |  |, and honored by Bryan Stevens-
   |  |on\'s Equal Justice Initiative.-
   |  | In Chasing Me to My Grave, he-
   |  | relates his life in prose and-
   |  | paintings－－vivid, confrontati-
   |  |onal, revelatory, complex scen-
   |  |es from the cotton fields and -
   |  |chain gangs of the segregated -
   |  |south to the churches and nigh-
   |  |t clubs of the urban north. Th-
   |  |is is also the story of findin-
   |  |g epic love, and with it the c-
   |  |ourage to revisit a past that -
   |  |begs to remain buried, as told-
   |  | to Tufts philosopher Erin I. -
