“I Am Trayvon Martin”: Visual Culture, Trauma, And The Incarceration Crisis, Amy Abugo Ongiri Mar 2013

“I Am Trayvon Martin”: Visual Culture, Trauma, And The Incarceration Crisis, Amy Abugo Ongiri

Center for the Study of Race & Race Relations: Lectures and Events

Political scientist Cathy Cohen has characterized the post-Reagan era African American community as caught in “a period of contradictions and advanced marginalization.” Cohen notes that while African American participation in electoral politics has grown exponentially since the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965, African Americans are increasingly marginalized economically as well as socially. One of the major factors in social marginalization is what African American Studies scholar Richard Iton has characterized as “hyperincarceration.” This presentation will explore the apparently contradictory conditions in the U.S. that created the possibility of both Trayvon Martin’s murder and the triumph of Black …


Half-Baked: Weed, Race, And The Demonization Of Trayvon Martin, Alex Tepperman Mar 2013

Half-Baked: Weed, Race, And The Demonization Of Trayvon Martin, Alex Tepperman

Center for the Study of Race & Race Relations: Lectures and Events

Following Trayvon Martin’s shooting death, numerous right-leaning pundits placed responsibility for the incident upon the victim, portraying Martin as a dangerous, threatening hoodlum. The Neo-Nazi website Stormfront.com, seizing on Martin’s recent suspension from school for marijuana possession, was a particularly vigorous proponent of this view, leveling numerous false accusations about Martin’s past as a drug dealer. This paper will investigate Stormfront’s success in convincing “mainstream” conservative media outlets, including BusinessInsider.com and Twitchy.com, to pick up a story which, though quickly debunked, has maintained a great deal of popularity online. The successful labeling of the victim as a “deviant” shows, quite …


Trayvon Martin And The International Press, Michael Leslie, Stania Antoine Mar 2013

Trayvon Martin And The International Press, Michael Leslie, Stania Antoine

Center for the Study of Race & Race Relations: Lectures and Events

Just as international coverage of the Emmett Till case in 1955 marshaled domestic support for the civil rights movement, international coverage of the Trayvon Martin murder focused attention on the disgraceful mishandling of the Martin’s murder case, spurring international, national and local public protests, and ultimately forcing the indictment of his killer. This paper examines the international discourse generated around the Martin affair and argues that such discourse widened domestic discourse regarding the murder, transforming the murder of yet another black youth into a referendum on the functioning of the American criminal justice system and the myth of the American …

A Lawyer For All: The 50th Anniversary Of Gideon V. Wainwright, Joanna L. Grossman, Leon Friedman Mar 2013

A Lawyer For All: The 50th Anniversary Of Gideon V. Wainwright, Joanna L. Grossman, Leon Friedman

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

The notion that a criminal defendant ought to have the benefit of a lawyer—paid for by the government, if necessary—when facing the possible loss of liberty seems unremarkable today. The Miranda warnings, which are a staple of television and movie scripts, as well as a requirement of real-life custodial interrogations by the police, are a constant reminder of the right to appointed counsel. But when Clarence Earl Gideon stood trial for burglary, his repeated requests for a lawyer fell on deaf ears. He was convicted and sent to prison for five years. But he didn’t give up. He wrote a …
