Sarah Lewis is a Harvard professor and award-winning author whose scholarship explores how art and visual culture shape our understanding of race, citizenship, and democracy. She founded Vision & Justice on the belief that representation is not just an aesthetic concern but a civic one, and that changing what America sees is part of changing what America becomes.

Vision & Justice’s Fall 2026 newsletter celebrates the opening of If Emmett Till Lived: Freedom on American Ground, highlighting the exhibition’s opening convening, extensive press coverage, and the preservation of Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ. The issue also features upcoming and recent events involving Sarah Lewis, including a conversation with Sherrilyn Ifill at the National Preservation Summit, and spotlights Carrie Mae Weems’s new 250andChange initiative, which imagines monuments for the future.
