The foul attempt to censor and suppress Dana Schutz’s painting of Emmett Till
By David Walsh

The campaign to censor and suppress Open Casket, white artist #Dana_Schutz painting of murdered black youth #Emmett_Till, on racialist grounds is thoroughly reactionary. Artists must speak out against this anti-democratic effort, which has the most sinister implications. The arguments being used are worthy of the Nazi officials who banned Jewish artists from playing or conducting classical music on the grounds of their “un-German” spirit.
