50 years since Griffin v County School Board of Prince Edward County

May 25, 2014 is the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision Griffin v County School Board of Prince Edward County, which provided a conclusion for the history I’ve been working on for The Unbound Project.

To commemorate the day, I am releasing a pdf version of Unbound. You can download the pdf here and read more about the letterpress version.

Longwood Residency

While I’m in Farmville, I will be printing for The Southern Letterpress, and working on two books projects.
