Sankofa For Henry Dumas (July 20, 1934 – May 23, 1968)

New Podcast! Sankofa For Henry Dumas Today marks 58 years since Henry Dumas was shot to death at the age of 33 by a New York City Transit Police officer. My father, Eugene Redmond, met Henry Dumas in 1967 when he became a teacher-counselor and director of language workshops at Southern Illinois University's Experiment in Higher Education, in East St. Louis, Illinois. Dumas’s riveting story is one rescued from ultimate tragedy by the love of his friend, Eugene Redmond. Presently I am the Post Doctoral Fellow of Literary Executorship for the Henry Dumas and Eugene B. Redmond estate. * If you would like to support the continuity of this podcast, get on our exclusive list for creatives who earn FREE gifts and more on our website at: http://femininepronoun.com/ #podcast #oralhistory #BAM #BlackLivesMatter
