Today’s Strange Fruit Mention of the Day: “Brooklyn-based photographer Jon Henry has spent the last nine years in the making of his project ‘Stranger Fruit,’ a book with photos of Black mothers from every state in the country, who worry about the safety of their sons in the hands of the police.

After his work traveled to galleries and shows in over ten states and three countries, The Kraszna-Krausz Foundation, the U.K.’s leading prize for original photography, shortlisted Henry’s publication among the Best Photography Book of the Year. The foundation says it recognizes creativity and rigor within the publishing industry, selecting books for their content’s historical and cultural quality and presentation.”
