Ghosts In The Shell

Borrowing its name from the anime classic, this chapter examines the disembodiment of Black excellence—how we’re praised as avatars but rarely protected as people. It features unsung heroes like Phillis Wheatley and Roberto Clemente, who were celebrated as symbols but denied personhood.
