The Equal Justice Initiative is building a memorial for lynching victims — and it’s about time.

The Equal Justice Initiative announced on Tuesday that it will build the first-ever national memorial to lynching victims in Montgomery, Alabama. Titled “Memorial to Peace and Justice,” the EJI project will sit on six acres of land that used to be a public housing project in Montgomery. 

The structure will include the thousands of lynching victims’ names on concrete columns, which will represent hundreds of U.S. counties where the acts took place. The memorial will also coincide with the opening of a museum.

Contemporary internet humor is commonly considered to have a very dada sensibility. However, a closer art comparison would be to fluxus. Meme culture and so-called shitposting resemble fluxus scores and performances, and fluxkits. 

I was checking out fluxkits and scores in my school’s artists’ book collection and was struck by one in particular, Water Yam by George Brecht published in 1963. The resemblance of this kit to tumblr posts was striking to me, and I wanted to share some of my favorites:

This one reminds me of the nonsensical How To’s of the internet, the first one that comes to mind is the How To Spoon post.

This one may be the most “shit-post”y of them all.

Striking similarity to the gun meme:

I love this one so much because it sounds like someone inventing pop punk for the very first time.

And my very favorite:

I need to get up. I wanna get food. I gotta exfoliate and moisturize, cause my skin looking atrocious right now.

What if… [deep breath] What if I die here, y’all? Would anyone even miss me?Like, really?

I want Enrique Iglesias to come save me. Like, the ceiling opens up and like, he comes down from like, a heavenly cloud with my glasses, and he’s singing. [imitating Enrique Iglesias] ‘Would you dance? If I asked you to dance? I will be your hero baby!’ And I just take my glasses and I’m like ‘Thanks yo! Put a shirt on homie!’

But life, life don’t work… life… [prolonged silence]

[camera zooms in on glasses] 

This man was stopped by a white cop! And this is really heart breaking! He did nothing! The cop was just looking for another victim! I’m glad this guy is alive! And he is here to spread the word!

The most disgusting thing is that this could happen to any black guy! To any black girl! To any black child!
