Kelly discussing her 2021 book about Winfred Rembert, “Chasing Me To My Grave: An Artist’s Memoir of the Jim Crow South.” Winfred Rembert (1945-2021) was an artist from Cuthbert, Georgia.

Rembert was honored by the Equal Justice Initiative in 2015, awarded a United States Artists Barr Fellowship in 2016, and is the subject of two award-winning documentary films, “All Me” and “Ashes to Ashes.”
