The Resurrection of Strange Fruit is a compilation of mixed media artworks created by artist Jerry Puryear that reclaims and transforms the haunting images of the past into symbols and principles that promote healing through thought-provoking pieces that honor African Americans who lost their lives by way of the “Lynch Abomination of the American South” and elevates them to symbols of sacrifice, pride, and inspiration. The theme of resurrection is explored through these artworks, to restore human value and serve as a poignant reminder that even now all these years later we can still advocate for the dead to bring their memory back to life.
