He was arrested after fleeing a demonstration, survived a near-lynching at the hands of law enforcement, and spent seven years on chain gangs. During that time he met the undaunted Patsy, who would become his wife. Years later, at the age of fifty-one and with Patsys encouragement, he started drawing and painting scenes from his youth using leather tooling skills he learned in prison.Chasing Me to My Grave presents Remberts breathtaking body of work alongside his story, as told to Tufts Philosopher Erin I. Kelly. Rembert calls forth vibrant scenes of Black life on Cuthbert, Georgias Hamilton Avenue, where he first glimpsed the possibility of a life outside the cotton field. As he pays tribute, exuberant and heartfelt, to Cuthberts Black community and the people, including Patsy, who helped him to find the courage to revisit a traumatic past, Rembert brings to life the promise and the danger of Civil Rights protest, the brutalities of incarceration, his search for his mothers love, and the epic bond he found with Patsy.Vivid, confrontational, revelatory, and complex, Chasing Me to My Grave is a searing memoir in prose and painted leather that celebrates Black life and summons readers to confront painful and urgent realities at the heart of American history and society.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Winfred Rembert (illustrator). 1st ed. 70+ full page color illustrations of Rembert's painting on carved and dyed leather, xvi, 284p. Original red cloth backed in black material. dj. 25 cm. Foreword by Bryan Stevenson. We generally don't sell new books but decided to stock copies of our beloved friend's newly published memoir. We first met Winfred in 1995 and got to see him take his first steps toward becoming an artist and then watch as it quickly became clear that he was a great artist, carving, tooling and dyeing one colorful painting on leather after another documenting events in his life and showing what life was like for African Americans in the South. What a privilege it was to have Winfred in our lives for 25 years and what a privilege it has been to get to know Erin Kelly as she worked tirelessly with Winfred to help him write this memoir.
