Podcasts about Emmett Till

Here we go again!In today's episode, co-hosts Alex Simmons and Christopher Ryan are joined by acclaimed comic book artist Eric Battle for an in-depth, wide-ranging conversation brimming with heart, honesty, and humor.From Eric's earliest memories of being transfixed by comics on the spinner rack as a six-year-old, to the pressures and passions of telling powerful, real-world stories on the page, this interview is both a roadmap for aspiring artists and a celebration of where creativity and impact intersect. You'll hear about Eric's battles (pun intended!) to find his voice in industries slow to accept comics as art, his leap from illustrating for newspapers to making his mark at DC, the emotional toll of tackling the graphic novel about Emmett Till, and how balance comes from everything from bike rides to—yes—baking epic cookies.Along the way, there are throwbacks to Eric and Alex's Tarzan/Blackjack crossover, deep dives into hidden chapters of American history, and tributes to the inspirational giants upon whose shoulders they stand. Whether you're a writer, artist, or passionate about storytelling, this episode offers hard-won wisdom, vulnerability, and plenty of laughter.So settle in for a moving, motivating, and mouthwatering conversation—we're talking cookies after all!

Hey Family,I pray this blesses you — for real.I've been sitting with something heavy, and it started after watching the clip of Summer from Baddies saying something reckless about Emmett Till. That comment? Wildly disrespectful. And my heart breaks for his family. But you know what hit me even deeper?It shouldn't take a moment like that for us to open our eyes.People were up in arms (as they should be), but why did it take this for us to finally say out loud what so many of us already knew — that Zeus Network and shows like Baddies have been feeding us toxic content for way too long?We deserve better.Our girls deserve better.Our legacy deserves better.I could rant about how media is failing us. I could go off about how we need to protect our culture and call our community higher. But instead of just venting, I'm doing what I was called to do — be a solution.So I created something. A resource rooted in real talk and biblical truth. It's based on my article “The Beauty of Being Set Apart” from the March/April 2025 issue — and it's something I pray every woman and girl who feels overlooked, forgotten, or called to stand out will sit with.

In this important episode, David sits down with recipients of the 2024 Shine A Light on Antisemitism Civic Courage Award, Dr. Devin Randolph and Rabbi Dr. Meir Muller. Together, they discuss ways to combat prejudice, racism, and antisemitism by searching for the commonalities in Black and Jewish fights for freedom and liberation.  Dr. Randolph and Rabbi Dr. Muller encourage us to move away from black and white thinking and, instead, be vulnerable with each other, so that our human experiences may educate each other. Particularly in a post-October 7th landscape, the tension that may accompany Jewish education can create space for curiosity, support, and solidarity. Through historical and personal examples, this conversation explores the goal of promoting justice and understanding different perspectives.  This episode was produced by Dina Nusnbaum and Miranda Lapides. The show's executive producers are David Bryfman, Karen Cummins, and Nessa Liben. This episode was engineered and edited by Nathan J. Vaughan of NJV Media. If you enjoyed the show, please leave us a 5-star rating and review, or even better, share it with a friend.

Curator Sukanya Rajaratnam and biographer Jon Ott weld together African American culture and 20th century Western/European modernism, through Richard Hunt's 1956 sculpture, Hero's Head.Born on the South Side of Chicago, sculptor Richard Hunt (1935-2023) was immersed in the city's culture, politics, and architecture. At the major exhibition, Sculpture of the Twentieth Century, which travelled from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York in 1953, he engaged with the works of artists Julio González, Pablo Picasso, and Constantin Brâncuși - encounters with Western/European modernism, that ‘catalysed' his use of metal, as the medium of his time and place.Hero's Head (1956), one of Richard's earliest mature works, was the first among many artistic responses dedicated to the legacy of Emmett Till. The previous year, Hunt joined over 100,000 mourners in attendance of the open-casket visitation of Till, a 14-year-old African American boy whose brutal lynching in Mississippi marked a seismic moment in national history. Modestly scaled to the dimensions of a human head, and delicately resting on a stainless-steel plinth, the welded steel sculpture preserves the image of Till's mutilated face. Composed of scrap metal parts, with dapples of burnished gold, it reflects the artist's use of found objects, and interest in ancient Greek and Roman mythology, which characterise his later works.With the first major European exhibition, and posthumous retrospective, of Richard's work at White Cube in London, curators Sukanya Rajaratnam and Jon Ott delve into the artist's prolific career. We critically discuss their diasporic engagement with cultural heritage; Richard collected over one thousand works of 'African art', referenced in sculptures like Dogonese (1985), and soon travelled to the continent for exhibitions like 10 Negro Artists from the US in Dakar, Senegal (1965). Jon details the reception of Richard's work, and engagement with the natural environment, connecting the ‘red soil' of Africa to agricultural plantations worked by Black slaves in southern America. We look at their work in a concurrent group exhibition at the Centre Pompidou, which retraces the presence and influence of Black artists in Paris, and considers the city as a ‘mobile site', highlighting the back-and-forth exchanges between artists, media, and movements like abstract expressionism. Shared forms are found in the works of French painters, Wangechi Mutu's Afrofuturist bronzes, and Richard's contemporaries practicing in France, Spain, Italy, and England.Plus, LeRonn P. Brooks, Curator at the Getty Research Institute, details Richard's ongoing legacies in public sculpture, and commemorations of those central to the Civil Rights Movement, including Martin Luther King Jr., Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Mary McLeod Bethune, Hobart Taylor Jr., and Jesse Owens.Richard Hunt: Metamorphosis is at White Cube Bermondsey in London until 29 June 2025.Paris Noir: Artistic circulations and anti-colonial resistance, 1950 – 2000 is at the Centre Pompidou in Paris until 30 June 2025.Listen to Sylvia Snowden at White Cube Paris, in the EMPIRE LINES episode on M Street (1978-1997).Hear more about Wangechi Mutu's This second dreamer (2017), with Ekow Eshun, curator of the touring exhibition, The Time is Always Now (2024).For more about Dogonese and ‘African masks' from Mali, listen to ⁠Manthia Diawara⁠, co-curator of The Trembling Museum at the Hunterian in Glasgow, part of ⁠PEACE FREQUENCIES 2023⁠.For more about ‘Negro Arts' exhibitions in Dakar, Senegal, read about Barbara Chase-Riboud: Infinite Folds at the Serpentine in London.For more about Black Southern Assemblage, hear Raina Lampkins-Felder, curator at the Souls Grown Deep Foundation and Royal Academy in London, on the Quiltmakers of Gee's Bend (20th Century-Now).

The ghost of Emmett Till's mutilated body floats beneath every interracial kiss in America—a 14-year-old lynched for a whistle, his mother's choice to display his corpse an act of guerilla truth-telling in a nation that still confuses Black flesh with public property. To discuss interracial dating without invoking the Willie Lynch Letter's “make them hate themselves” doctrine or Dr. Frances Cress Welsing's Isis Papers analysis of melanin as threat is to spit on Mamie Till's open casket.

Today's case hits on a sensitive topic for many, the racial hate in the United States, specifically, Mississippi. We all know about the Civil Right's Movement. In school we all learned about Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr, Thurgood Marshall, Malcom X and many others. One name that should also be on this list is Emmett Till and his mother, Mamie. Emmett Till was a 14-year-old child who was kidnapped from his uncle's home in the middle of the night, then he suffered unimaginable torture at the hands of racial hate fueled men for four hours before they murdered Emmett in August 1955. Emmett's mother, Mamie, fought to retrieve her son's remains from Mississippi officials. She held a viewing of her son's mutilated body for several days which drew National attention and she travelled with the NAACP to tell her son's story. Listen to today's case to hear about the brutal murder of an innocent young man and the atrocities that followed.

On se retrouve pour découvrir ensemble un nouveau comics, dans ComicsDiscovery. Que vous soyez fan de X Men ou que vous soyez désireux d'en apprendre plus sur la saga imaginée par Stan Lee, cet épisode est fait pour vous. À l'occasion de sa ressortie en édition Best of chez Panini, nous lisons Dieu crée, l'homme détruit de Brent Anderson et Chris Claremont. Un peu de contexteAvant d'entrer dans le comics, Spades, grand amateur de mutant, vous propose de remettre en contexte l'œuvre, car celui-ci est très important pour prendre conscience de l'impact du comics au moment de sa sortie en 1982. Les mutants sous l'ere ClaremontEn août 1969, Marvel se retrouve avec une série qui ne fait plus vraiment recette depuis sa création par Stan Lee et Jack Kirby — comme pas mal d'autres titres de l'époque, d'ailleurs. Cette série, c'est Uncanny X-Men. Pendant des années, elle végète, recyclant d'anciens épisodes et peinant à trouver son public. Mais en 1975, Marvel tente un coup de poker : relancer le titre avec une nouvelle équipe venue des quatre coins du globe, introduite dans le fameux Giant-Size X-Men #1.C'est là qu'entre en scène Chris Claremont. À partir de 1976, il prend les rênes du titre et va littéralement le métamorphoser. Il injecte des intrigues plus longues, des thématiques sociales puissantes, des personnages complexes et tourmentés — et surtout, une narration feuilletonnante qui capte les lecteurs sur le long terme.De 1976 à 1991, Claremont transforme Uncanny X-Men en l'une des séries phares, voire la série phare, de Marvel. Il y a clairement un avant et un après Claremont. Sans lui, les X-Men ne seraient probablement jamais devenus les icônes pop qu'ils sont aujourd'hui, et l'industrie n'aurait peut-être pas connu ce virage narratif plus adulte qu'il a contribué à initier. Dieu crée et l'homme détruit Alors qu'un groupe nommé les Purificateurs traque les mutants et les lynche purement et simplement — une référence directe à Emmett Till, ce jeune Afro-Américain assassiné en 1955, dont le meurtre a été l'un des déclencheurs majeurs du mouvement pour les droits civiques aux États-Unis —, un télévangéliste fanatique, William Stryker, utilise sa tribune médiatique pour attiser la haine des mutants au nom de la foi. Face à cette vague d'intolérance, les X-Men n'ont d'autre choix que de s'allier avec leur plus vieil adversaire : Magneto. C'est à travers ce récit, Dieu crée, l'homme détruit, que Chris Claremont grave dans l'ADN des X-Men une thématique qui ne les quittera plus : celle de la lutte contre la haine, l'intolérance et les discriminations systémiques. Bien sûr, ces idées étaient déjà présentes dans la série depuis ses débuts — la coexistence pacifique prônée par Professor Xavier face au radicalisme de Magneto en portait les prémices — mais jamais elles n'avaient été abordées avec autant de clarté, de gravité et de réalisme.Avec l'appui de Brent Anderson au dessin, Claremont utilise pour la première fois les X-Men pour parler directement, sans métaphore ni détour, à son lectorat des violences raciales, de la peur de l'autre et des dérives religieuses. Ce n'est plus simplement un comic sur des super-héros, c'est un manifeste. Un appel à la vigilance, à la solidarité, à l'empathie. Et si certains éléments d'écriture peuvent aujourd'hui paraître datés — narration dense, dialogues parfois théâtraux —, cela n'ôte rien à la puissance du propos. Le message, lui, reste brûlant d'actualité. C'est ce récit qui fait des X-Men les porte-voix d'une génération, et leur donne leur place à part dans l'univers Marvel. Qu'avez-vous pensé de ce récit ? si vous ne l'avez pas encore lu, nous vous invitons à le découvrir sans attendre !

With Terrell sick with his family, this week of the MalloryBros Podcast the Bros ironically talk VIRTUALLY about the recent trend of AI Apps recreating well known Artistic styles with the simple touch of a button. They speak about how that creates tension between Original Artists and the future of technology. Which should we honor? Speed or Originality? The Bros also give thoughts on the controversial situation with Marvin Sapp and how he raises money with his church. This is a sensitive topic because it's wrapped with religion, but of course the Bros give an honest critique to the viral clip that's resurfaced this past week. Next they speak on the popular Youtube show "Pop The Balloon or Find Love"  whose creators just signed a new deal with Netflix to bring a special to Thursday nights. The Bros speak about what this means for creators and the heights that can be reached with a move like this. They also speak on if this is a good look for the culture or if some of the backlash is an overreaction. You decide. Later in the episode, Terrance speaks on an Emmitt Till fact that might actually shock you if you didn't know already, and the Bros end with a conversaton about Chris Brown's upcoming ERA's Tour and what this summer is about to look like for 2025 concerts. Of course with some "what you look like" bits in the mix, it's another week with the Boys! 

Wright Thompson grew up in Clarksdale, Mississippi, before going on to write for ESPN, The Atlantic, and the New York Times, among other publications. In 2018, he created the travel documentary show, TrueSouth, which is now in its 8th season on the SEC Network; and in 2020, he came out with a terrific book called Pappyland: A Story of Family, Fine Bourbon, and the Things That Last. Wright's latest book, The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississippi, examines the lasting impact and legacy of the Emmett Till murder, as well as the extraordinary efforts by some to obscure or distort the facts. It's one of the best books I've read in a long time, incredibly well researched and reported, and told with the insights that only a Mississippian could bring to the story. Sid talks to Wright about the remarkable journey of Emmett Till's cousin, Wheeler Parker, who was there the night of the abduction; the strong connection between the Mississippi Delta and Chicago; and why it took so many decades for the secrets of this horrendous crime to come to light.

Best-Selling Author & Distinguished Carter G. Woodson book award presented to exemplary books written for children and young people each year at the NCSS Annual Conference.My Show looks to the final day of Jubilee Remembrances 60th Anniversary 2025 in the South this Week. I consider it a Privilege to cover the True Foot Soldiers who were physically THERE during the Events that Changed History in American Civil Rights to All.My Guest is author Robert H. Mayer author of the book "In the Name of Emmett Till"The Movie "Till" premiered in the Fall 2022. It was a Box-Office Hit!Emmett Till Antilynching Act is a United States landmark federal law which makes lynching a federal hate crime and signed into law on March 29, 2022, by President Joe Biden. The bill was named after 14-year-old Emmett Till, who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, sparking national and international outrage.Children played a significant role in Birmingham's crucial civil rights struggle, and this stirring history of the movement, with many photos, news reports, and quotes from all sides, emphasizes the connections between the young people's power and that of the big leaders. Martin Luther King called Birmingham the most segregated city in America, and his Letter from Birmingham Jail is quoted at length. But when the adults' protest lost momentum, the leaders' decision to call on young people galvanized the movement--Hazel RochmanRobert H. Mayer is the award-winning author of When the Children Marched: The Birmingham Civil Rights Movement and the editor of The Civil Rights Act of 1964. As a teacher, Mayer's passion continues to be making history relevant and accessible to young people. His time spent in Jackson, Canton, and McComb, Mississippi, as well as meeting scholars and activists integral to the civil rights movement, fueled the desire to write In the Name of Emmett Till. He lives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with his wife Jan, where he writes, teaches, and tutors youth in a local middle school.The 1955 murder of Emmett Till in Mississippi is widely remembered as one of the most horrible lynching's in American history. African American children old enough that year to be aware personally felt the terror of Till's murder. These children, however, would rise up against the culture that made Till's death possible. Over the next decade, from the violent Woolworth's lunch-counter sit-ins in Jackson to the school walkouts of McComb, the young people of Mississippi picketed, boycotted, organized, spoke out, and marched, determined to reveal the vulnerability of black bodies and the ugly nature of the world they lived in. These children changed that world.© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud   

«En Amérique, nous sommes là depuis 3 siècles, rejetés dans le ghetto, mais nous sommes Américains !» revendiquait l'écrivain Richard Wright. Être des Américaines et des Américains comme les autres, est une aspiration partagée par toutes celles et ceux qui ont répondu à l'enquête historique menée par les deux sociologues africains américains St. Clair Drake et Horace R. Cayton dans les quartiers de Black Metropolis, au cœur du ghetto de la ville de Chicago. Une enquête devenue un classique de la socio-anthropologie urbaine, publiée aux États-Unis en 1945 et enfin disponible en français. Mais que raconte Black Metropolis de la réalité quotidienne des migrants noirs arrivés dans ce bastion industriel du nord ? Comment sont-ils venus alors qu'ils fuyaient le racisme officiel des États du sud ? Comment ont-ils survécu et lutté pour leurs droits dans le ghetto urbain de Chicago ? Et comment ont-ils organisé leur vie sociale et culturelle au rythme du blues de Chicago, genre musical qu'ils ont inventé ? Autant de questions à évoquer avec nos invitées Anne Raulin et Danièle Joly, directrices de la traduction en français de Black Metropolis, une ville dans la ville, Chicago, 1914-1945.À lire : Black Metropolis, une ville dans la ville, Chicago, 1914-1945, aux éditions de la MSH dans la collection Amérique(s).Une traduction dirigée par Anne Raulin, professeure émérite en Anthropologie à l'Université Paris Nanterre et spécialiste des minorités urbaines et des dynamiques mémorielles et Danièle Joly, sociologue, professeure émérite à l'Université de Warwick et spécialiste des questions d'intégration, de discrimination et d'asile en Europe. Playlist :  Duke Ellington, Caravan Mahalia Jackson, Precious Lord take my hand Jelly Roll Morton, Winin'boy blues Robert Johnson, Sweet home Chicago. Pour aller plus loin :À écouter aussi«Chicago - Juillet 1919, les premières émeutes raciales» Black Lives Matter, l'affaire Emmett Till

Ήταν ένα αγόρι γεμάτο αθωότητα, που βρέθηκε σε έναν κόσμο όπου το χρώμα του δέρματός του μπορούσε να καθορίσει τη μοίρα του. Μια απερίσκεπτη στιγμή, μια φαινομενικά ασήμαντη κίνηση, στάθηκε αρκετή για να ξεσπάσει πάνω του το τυφλό μίσος μιας κοινωνίας που έτρεφε τον φόβο και την προκατάληψη. Ο άδικος χαμός του δεν χάθηκε στη λήθη· έγινε μια κραυγή που διέλυσε τη σιωπή, αποκαλύπτοντας την ωμή αλήθεια μιας χώρας που πάλευε να αντικρίσει τον εαυτό της.

Today we're talking about Rod Serling's dealings with censorship and how he turned his frustrations into something profound and timeless.“The writer's role is to menace the public's conscience.

John is joined by Wright Thompson, master of long-form narrative non-fiction and author of the book Heilemann adjudges the best of 2024 — The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississippi. Wright explains how he came to write The Barn, in which he blends history, journalism, and memoir to offer a new account of the 1955 torture and murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till a few miles from Wright's boyhood home in Mississippi; what he learned in the process about race, the South, and himself; and why, now more than ever, the story still matters. Wright also discusses his previous book, Pappyland, about Pappy Van Winkle, the most magical bourbon known to man, and the family that makes it, and his career writing seminal magazine profiles of iconic athletes such as Tiger Woods.

The 1955 murder of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old Black boy who was abducted and lynched in Mississippi, is one of the most infamous crimes in American history. Yet, decades later, so much of what happened to Till is still widely unknown. Our guest this week points out that this is no accident. Wright Thompson is a senior writer for ESPN and is the author of several books including his latest, “The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississippi,” which is the subject of this week's conversation. Thompson's family farm is 23 miles from the site of Till's murder, and yet he didn't learn about some of the most shocking details until becoming an adult. Thompson joins to discuss what he uncovered while writing the book, his familial connection to the story and the reckoning that must happen if we are to heal one of the country's original sins.

Danielle Deadwyler, who first grabbed the spotlight for her performance as Emmett Till's mother in the film “Till,” stars in a new film called “The Piano Lesson”—one of August Wilson's Century Cycle plays about Black life in Pittsburgh. Denzel Washington has committed to adapting and producing all ten of Wilson's Century Cycle plays; “The Piano Lesson” is directed by his son Malcolm, and his other son John David co-stars. Deadwyler plays Berniece, a widow who has kept the family piano after her migration north to Pittsburgh; her brother, who remained in Mississippi, wants to sell it to buy a plot of land. Themes of inheritance and history are central to the siblings' conflict. “Histories are passed as we keep doing things together . . . through struggle, through joy, through lovemaking, through challenge,” Deadwyler explained to the New Yorker's Doreen St. Félix. “The Piano Lesson” is playing in select theatres, and will be available on Netflix starting November 22nd.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Dave Tell. Co-Director of the Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities, Dr. Tell's work “focuses on issues of race, memory, and the digital humanities. Since 2014, [he's centered] on the legacy of the murder of Emmett Till in the Mississippi Delta. As a long-time partner with the Emmett Till Memorial Commission of Tallahatchie County, Inc., Dr. Tell's work has a strong public focus.” Gus was motivated to read his 2019 publication, Remembering Emmett Till, after hearing a recent report where Till's attempted family alleges that Suspected Racists are currently financially profiting from landmarks and memorials to the lynching. Dr. Tell's work is uniquely and meticulously focused on the correlation between geography and local White Supremacy/Racism in the Mississippi Delta. He highlights the role of the black journalists like Moses Newson, Clotye Murdock Larsson, Simeon Booker, Ruby Hurley, and even activists Medgar Evers and Dr. T. R. M. Howard who all helped reveal truth about the Racist White Goons who lynched Till in Sunflower County, Miss. We even note the heroic efforts of privileged black male Willie Reed, who heard the murder happening on the plantation/property of Leslie Milam, brother of one of the killers. #BrettFavre #GoonSquad #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Anne Frank and Martin Luther King Junior were born in the same year. The last known widow of a Civil War veteran lived to see Barack Obama become the first African-American President. Emmett Till would be the same age as Neil Diamond, Martha Stewart, and Bob Dylan in 2024 if he was not brutally tortured and murdered in 1955. Facts like these remind us that history is not as far away as we think it is. Wright Thompson, is a Senior Writer at ESPN and author of The Cost of These Dreams, Pappyland, and most recently, The Barn, which uncovers the real story of Emmett Till's murder in the Mississippi Delta. Wright joins Ryan to talk about the impact of cognitive dissonance, how political rhetoric has shaped racial violence, why history is closer than we think, the rise and fall of the cotton boom, and what it was like for Wright to learn the truth about Emmett Till's story.

In April 1997, Ellen was on the cover of Time magazine declaring, “Yep, I'm Gay.” Then a few weeks later, her sitcom alter ego came out on TV. It was watched by 42 million people. The next year, in 1998, Will & Grace premiered on NBC. This was a watershed moment for gay representation. Then came: The Pursuit of Happiness, Mad About You, Spin City, Chicago Hope, Melrose Place, NYPD Blue, My So-Called Life, Fired Up, The Crew, Profiler, and High Society—which all started to include gay characters. The whole decade consisted of landmark moments for gay rights. In May 1996, the Supreme Court decided in Romer v. Evans that Colorado's 2nd Amendment, which denied gays and lesbians protections against discrimination, was actually unconstitutional, and in May 1998, Bill Clinton signed an executive order that made it illegal to discriminate based on sexual orientation in federal workplaces. The gay-rights movement in America was making real progress.  Then, something horrific happened. On a late October night in 1998, in a little town called Laramie, Wyoming, a 21-year-old college student named Matthew Shepard was killed. The details of the murder were brutal. He was pistol-whipped 18 times, beaten, tied to the bottom of a split-rail wooden fence in a remote part of town, and left there unconscious to die. When he was found, it was said that he looked like a scarecrow. One of the first responders said Matthew's face had so much blood that the only place you could see his skin was where the path of his tears had fallen and washed away the blood. He died a few days later in a nearby hospital. In the weeks and months that followed, a narrative took shape. Matthew Shepard was killed by two men who he did not know—Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson—because he was gay. It was a hate crime, and it was deplorable. As the news spread, celebrities and politicians around the country spoke out. President Clinton told journalists at the White House, “In our shock and grief one thing must remain clear: hate and prejudice are not American values.” The story of this anti-gay hate crime came to represent the very thing that many gay Americans feared America was at its worst: a place of deep bigotry, where violence against gay people is rampant, where a young man could be targeted and killed simply for being gay, and a country where there are whole cities and towns, maybe even whole regions, where gay people aren't safe. The death of Matthew Shepard became the most notorious anti-gay hate crime in American history. “Shepard is to gay rights what Emmett Till was to the civil rights movement,” as New York congressman Sean Patrick Maloney said. But what if the story wasn't true? What if Matthew Shepard wasn't murdered for being gay, but rather for something more common—though equally tragic? And why did so many people refuse to believe it when investigative journalists discovered the truth?  Those were the questions on reporter Ben Kawaller's mind when he went to Laramie earlier this month, where he interviewed residents, journalists, and former detectives who have a lot to say about the Matthew Shepard case and what really happened. Today, the real Matthew Shepard story and why the full truth is still important. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
