This three-article dissertation project considers and explicates key lessons and insights about patterns of social behavior that I have learned as a result of deep investigation and scrutiny of the killings of Emmett Till and Trayvon Martin and their resulting trials. Specifically, this dissertation project explores (1) how African Americans' experiences with verdicts that are widely perceived to be unjust among African Americans, such as the acquittal of the two men tried for Till's murder, can inform the already rich framework for understanding cultural trauma, and (2) how a comparative analysis of the Till and Trayvon case studies can illuminate societal understandings about the operation of racism in a post-Civil Rights society. The first article in this project considers how the African American community's response to the verdict in the trial against J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant, the two men tried for Till's murder, in 1955 can deepen current analyses of the cultural trauma process. Specifically, it utilizes the Till verdict case study to reveal how cultural trauma narratives can arise not only when the routine is disrupted (as the founding scholars of cultural trauma theory have consistently argued), but also when regularly expected occurrences-the matters that communities have come to know and take for granted-occur. The second article in this dissertation project investigates and analyzes how the killings of Till and Trayvon, as well as the trials that followed those tragedies, were shaped by the policing of boundaries of whiteness. In so doing, it delineates the many ways in which this racially motivated policing of boundaries occurred, including: (1) the maintenance of white racial separation; (2) the simultaneous emergence and reaffirmation of cross-class, white racial solidarity; (3) the communication and understanding of blackness, and specifically black maleness, as a threat; and (4) the regulation of black presence and movement in what sociologist Elijah Anderson has defined as "the white space." The second article in this dissertation project also specifies how the strategies, practices, and tactics for protecting whiteness and its attendant advantages and benefits have shifted over time. Finally, the third and final article of this dissertation project considers and reveals what the Till and Trayvon case studies share in terms of the protection of white womanhood or True Womanhood.
