From Alice Vincent at the Telegraph (UK): “
Thanks to an idea from writer and educator Candice Benbow, a free syllabus of hundreds of references to works that accompany and help explain Lemonade’s meaning has been created and released online.
Less than a week after Lemonade’s release, Benbow posted on Twitter that she had been contemplating creating the Lemonade Syllabus, as it has become known. When she published it on April 29, it had more than 200 references form 60 contributors. . . The syllabus was published in a downloadable form on May 7. Since then, Benbow posted on Instagram on Wednesday morning, it has been read more than 40,000 times.”
Other versions of The Lemonade Syllabus, have been popping up elsewhere. Find links to some of them here.
