Always in Season” (Jacqueline Olive)
Always in Season examines the lingering impact of a century of lynching African-Americans while featuring three communities where relatives of the perpetrators and victims are working towards healing. In Laurens, SC, Rev. David Kennedy fights to close a store that sells KKK robes and neo-Nazi knick-knacks right in the middle of downtown and a mile from where his great-uncle was lynched. Meanwhile, in Monroe, GA, a diverse group of amateur actors reenact the 1946 lynching of two black couples in the very spot where the violence happened. They work to ensure that the nation never forgets the victims and any perpetrators still living are brought to justice. In Duluth, MN, Warren Read recently learned of his great-grandfather’s instigating role in the 1920 lynching of three innocent men and meets with other relatives of the perpetrators and victims to uncover long-held family secrets of the violence as they try to reconcile.
