S E1239: In Class with Carr, Ep. 239: "Justice Delayed is Justice Denied?"

What happens when justice is delayed? If for too long, or with too effective a prolong opposition, is it inevitable that it be permanently denied? If it is accurate that “politics is the art of the possible but art creates the possible of politics,” as Ta-Nehisi Coates writes in his book “The Message, what is the responsibility of the artist to imagine not only transforming positive social change but a world in which deep memory informs the future? And what happens when the artist commingles their own individual and group memory with that of others, creating a shared humanity that threatens to topple violences based on maintaining difference?

Those who use art to build stories and connect human beings to each other with shared insights, emotions and experiences work against powerful Social Structures designed to exploit, harm and control. What happens when stories that maintain oppressive hierarchies break down under the weight of other stories, delivered with powerful clarity by masters of craft, of common language? What happens when, in response, stagecraft and common language is used to build narratives that reinforce the harms?

“In Class” session number 239 draws from news of the death of non baseball Hall-of-Famer Peter Edward Rose to the whitelash defensive aftermath of the release of “the Message” to ask fundamental questions: Can justice, long delayed, be permanently denied? Deferred dreams be reduced to dead ones?
