520    "A self-taught artist's odyssey from Jim Crow era Georgia 
       to the Yale Art Gallery-a stunningly vivid, full-color 
       memoir in prose and painted leather, with a foreword by 
       Equal Justice Initiative founder Bryan Stevenson. Winfred 
       Rembert grew up as a field hand on a Georgia plantation. 
       He embraced the Civil Rights Movement, endured political 
       violence, survived a lynching, and spent seven years in 
       prison on a chain gang. Years later, seeking a fresh start
       at the age of 52, he discovered his gift and vision as an 
       artist, and using leather tooling skills he learned in 
       prison, started etching and painting scenes from his 
       youth. Rembert's work has been exhibited at museums and 
       galleries across the country, profiled in the New York 
       Times and more, and honored by Bryan Stevenson's Equal 
       Justice Initiative. In Chasing Me to My Grave, he relates 
       his life in prose and paintings--vivid, confrontational, 
       revelatory, complex scenes from the cotton fields and 
       chain gangs of the segregated south to the churches and 
       night clubs of the urban north. This is also the story of 
       finding epic love, and with it the courage to revisit a 
       past that begs to remain buried, as told to Tufts 
       philosopher Erin I. Kelly"--|cProvided by publisher.
