- Keith LaMar, a wrongfully-convicted Black man in The United States, teams up with world-renowned artist Molly Crabapple to share the story of how he was framed and sentenced to death following the Lucasville Prison Uprising at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in 1993. Keith has been fighting for his liberation from solitary confinement, where he has been held for over 30 years! Scheduled to be executed on January 13, 2027. Keith and his supporters intend to stop Ohio officials.
A message from Keith LaMar on January 13, 2025: With today marking two years until my proposed execution date, as time once again becomes a critical factor, we have found a poignant and powerful way to tell and share my story. I hope you will join me in this effort. You have in your hand a gripping portrayal of the betrayal that is my case, facts and figures that can (and have) been substantiated by the record. Please use whatever means are at your disposal to help me get the word out, to help raise resources and awareness to elevate my plight. If I must go, it won't be without a fight. I won't go silently into that dark night. Join me. Stand with me.
