This essay examines the political significance of the career of Atlanta-based Shakespearean Adrienne McNeil Herndon in the early twentieth century. It contextualizes Herndon's writing in the activist journal Voice of the Negro and elucidates the radicalism of Herndon's Shakespeare work at Atlanta University and beyond. More broadly, the essay shows how Herndon's performances and pedagogy – especially her focus on elocution work, bodily expressivity, domestic spaces, and visual culture – repeatedly challenged the white supremacist culture of the Jim Crow South, offering black Americans a way to resist racial terrorism and endure racial trauma.

Adrienne Herndon 的故乡：亚特兰大的莎士比亚和黑人抵抗运动，c.1906

这篇文章探讨了 20 世纪初在亚特兰大的莎士比亚剧作家艾德里安·麦克尼尔·赫恩登的职业生涯的政治意义。它将赫恩登在激进主义期刊中的写作背景化黑人之声并阐明了赫恩登在亚特兰大大学及其他地区的莎士比亚作品的激进主义。更广泛地说，这篇文章展示了赫恩登的表演和教学法——尤其是她对演讲工作、身体表达、家庭空间和视觉文化的关注——如何反复挑战吉姆克劳南部的白人至上主义文化，为美国黑人提供抵抗种族恐怖主义的方法并忍受种族创伤。
