We first met Washington Post Reporter, DeNeen L. Brown, here on The Janus Adams Show, when filmmaker Dawn Porter returned to the show with her documentary RISE AGAIN: Tulsa and The Red Summer. Infused with DeNeen L. Brown’s “ground penetrating” radar lens as reporter, the people of Tulsa—victims of the 1921 Tulsa Massacre—were restored to life; resurrected before our eyes. Our understanding of what was done to them and their community was brought into sharper focus and context; their stories made unforgettable..
DeNeen L. Brown—reporter, crusader—has since restored the lives and dignity of the victims of Florida’s 1923 Rosewood Massacre to remembrance. Lest we forget. And there are her articles on theatre, on author/anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, on following the Volta river’s course into the Gulf of Guinea (West Africa), and why she will, someday, leave the United States. Even more fascinating is the woman herself, and why she writes.
