‘Amazing Grace,’
a Fitting Tribute
C ontinued froM p age 11
tors mean to highlight patterns that
exist throughout the U.S., to equip
people of color to push back on the
sorts of narratives that blame us
for problems we do not create and
have limited ability to impact, and
to inspire creative thinking about
to find real agency in addressing
problems like these that persist
throughout American cities. It’s a
clarifying and helpful effort. You
can follow the film’s distribution
and future screenings at http://

“Always in Season” won a U.S.
documentary special jury award at
Sundance for moral urgency, and it
is easy to see why. It focuses in part
on a 2014 incident in a small North
Carolina town where, one Friday, a
black high school student, Lennon
Lacy, was found dead in a mobile
home park that he frequently visit-
ed, hanging from a swing set. The
local police chilled over the long
weekend and then told quickly ruled
the case a suicide, despite protesta-
tions from boy’s family and others
close to him that he showed no signs
of suicidal intentions
The film asks the question
whether lynching is really a thing
of the past in the U.S.; Lacy’s fam-
ily believes he was lynched, and
the film inquires as to what seems
to have been a very cursory investi-
gation that fails to pursue leads and
evidence that would support their
concern. The more time the film
(ably directed by Jacqueline Ol-
ive, herself a Southern black single
mother) sits with the perspective of
the marginalized, the more we no-
tice other things--like how strange
a suicide in a public place actually
is. An NAACP investigator notes
an alarming and rising number of
such “suicides” among black men
in the last ten years.
¬¬Despite the fact that those in-
cidents, like most lynchings, took
place in public and, in one case,
was publicly advertised ahead of
time, no one has ever been pros-
ecuted (as is so often the case).
The film puts Lennon’s case in its
historical contest and builds ap-
propriate discomfort with patterns
that persist on suspicious deaths
of black men and the bland public
response that exists, even when
the FBI is involved. Olive seeks to
equip us to look more deeply and
question the too-easily-reached of-
ficial narrative around such deaths,
and to understand the mechanics
of systemic racism and how the
legacy of lynching persists even
to this day. You can follow the
film and watch for screenings at
