🎭 'Accidental puppeteer' samiam313 traces his family stories and the slippery narratives of Black American history at theartcenterhp. | ✍️IreneCHsiao
and his band Kitchen Sink, for which Lewis also sang backup vocals. In the hands of the self-described “accidental puppeteer,” Jambo the Jiver transformed into a new character named Jus Hambone . “In the [puppetry] scene, the puppeteer is usually deemphasized,” notes Lewis. “I wanted people to see that I was the one manipulating Jus Hambone: a Black man is also the puppet master in this scenario.
Says Lewis, “John Marshall has helped a bunch of people and spoken at Black people’s family reunions, met with folks, given information—it’s a lot of work. His guidance and emails . . . there’s a lot of gold in what he has given [me]. I’m able to more intentionally find stuff. He’s had an evolution in his thinking. In earlier work, he was referring to the Civil War as the War Between the States.
As Lewis continued his research, he realized he was learning not only about his own family history but also about the place, the past, and about the slipperiness of historical narrative itself. In one newspaper, he discovered the story of a great-granduncle who was shot by a coworker while working as a railroad laborer in Fulton, Kentucky . In another, he found the story of a great-grandfather who was scalded during a boiler explosion in a gin and grist mill.
