This image, or any like series, was not in my plans to post to Abaculi, but after I discovered the image Wednesday night in a 1922 UVA yearbook, it seemed an apt moment to publish. How do we begin to talk openly and honestly about a culture that normalized images of terror to the point that one could be used so lightly as an illustration for the club section of a (then all white male university) yearbook. How do the images and attitudes normalized in earlier decades allow for, or influence, what happens sixty, eighty, or nearly one hundred years later?
