Facing the Truth
Virginia Christian was executed by the Commonwealth of Virginia on August 16th, 1912, the day after her seventeenth birthday. This is the true story that inspired AN ACT OF TERROR.
Virgie’s story is as bleak as it is true and it is undeniably bleak. But I believe there is a great deal of hope in telling it, in sharing it. If our nation and our institutions are to be healed, we must examine stories like Virgie’s. In school we learn that Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves then we skip to the civil rights movement and celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. We never learn about the thousands of racial terror lynchings of African Americans in the South between Reconstruction and World War II. Or that the rise of legal executions in the South correlates directly with the decline in lynchings in the region. We don’t talk about that civil war. Until we do, our understanding of our past is hollow.
Racial injustice endures because we seem determined to remain blind to its presence in the bedrock of our institutions. Once you encounter a story like Virgie’s, the truth is impossible to ignore. I can’t think of a better medium than film to undertake the herculean task of bringing this history to life.
Current reading list. #anactofterror #womeninfilm #shortfilm (at The William Vale)
I first heard about Virginia Christian in February 2016 when my dad sent me a book called FORSAKEN by Ross Howell Jr. Howell’s deeply researched historical novel follows 18-year-old reporter Charles Mears as he covers his first murder case, the trial of Virginia Christian for the murder of Ida Belote in Hampton, Virginia. As I read, I became as obsessed with the grave injustice Virgie faced as the book’s protagonist is. My mind reeled. How did this happen in an American courtroom? Why haven’t I ever heard of a 16-year-old girl who died in the electric chair? When did it stop being legal to execute children? What has been done to make our institutions more fair so that something like this never happens again? I hope that Virgie’s story will spark a conversation about the shameful parts of our history--Jim Crow, lynching, terror, and racism--that we must squarely face in order to honestly build a society in which there is true equality. #anactofterror #sayhername

An Act of Terror
The Commonwealth of Virginia sentenced 16 year old Virginia Christian to death by electrocution in 1912. AN ACT OF TERROR tells Christian's story from her point of view. Through her eyes we see how our flawed our institutions and criminal justice system can be.
