The Moore's Ford lynchings, or the 1946 Georgia lynching, refer to the brutal murders of four young African Americans by a mob of white men on July 25, 1946. The incident occurred near Moore's Ford Bridge in Walton and Oconee counties, Georgia. The victims were two married couples: George W. and Mae Murray Dorsey, and Roger and Dorothy Malcolm. The case attracted national attention, prompting large protests in Washington, D.C., and New York City. President Harry Truman created the President's Committee on Civil Rights and introduced anti-lynching legislation in Congress, but it was blocked by the Southern Democratic bloc. The FBI investigated the case in 1946 but could not find sufficient evidence to charge anyone. The cold case was reopened in the 1990s, but the state of Georgia and the FBI closed their cases in December 2017 without any prosecution. This episode features Sheryl McCollum, a cold case investigator, and Laura Wexler, author of "Fire in a Canebrake," discussing the Moores Ford Lynching in Georgia. Together, they explore the legacy of racial violence, the power of storytelling, and the challenges of investigating historical cases. Laura recounts her journey of unearthing the dark corners of America's past, hoping to shine a light on forgotten stories and victims.   Show Notes: [0:00] Welcome back to Zone 7 with Crime Scene Investigator, Sheryl McCollum.

Tom's guest today is Alec MacGillis, an award-winning reporter for ProPublica whose work has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker and The Atlantic, among other publications. He has written a book, out today, about Amazon, and about the seismic shifts that it has caused not only in the American economy, but in American culture as well, since Jeff Bezos started his on-line bookstore in the summer of 1994. The book is called Fulfillment: Winning and Losing in One-Click America. Bezos will step aside as chief executive this summer, but Amazon’s dominance in the economy will remain unparalleled. It is an enormous marketplace that dwarfs its nearest competitor in on-line retail sales. Its cloud servers hold the data for companies across the globe, including some of Amazon’s fiercest rivals. And the ways it influences the health and well-being of communities large and small, and the ways in which it has changed the very nature of work are myriad.Amazon’s distribution system is massive. It has warehouses within 25 miles of nearly half of the US population, including two in the Baltimore metro area, from which more than 6 billion packages are shipped every year. In Fulfillment, Alec MacGillis takes us into those warehouses and the lives and communities of the people who work in them. With assiduous reporting and powerful writing, he chronicles the enormous imprint of Amazon, and its far-reaching effect on American society. Alec MacGillis joins us on the line from his home in Baltimore. _____________________________________________ Alec MacGillis is the featured guest tonight at an event celebrating the launch of Fulfillment: a live, in-person conversation with Baltimore-based writer Laura Wexler, which will take place on the outdoor rear patio of The Ivy Bookshop, located at 5928 Falls Rd., Baltimore 21209. Registration for the free, 7pm event is sold out, but on-site patrons are still welcome at the Bookshop. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We engage in radical digital media literacy by enjoying a bite of education and a bit of poetry, creating humane responses to fake news and social media in the era of Covid-19.This episode was made quickly during a time of uprising following the killing of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade and countless other African Americans by police. It connects to two #100HardTruths: Black Lives Matter (#44), and Make Manifest the Contingency of the Social (#96).Writer and educator Stacie Evans reads her poem “because there will be no chance to say it then,” elucidating the quiet ways — “hey” — she expresses her rage, disbelief, and humanity as a black woman in America. She talks with Laura Wexler, Yale University Professor of American Studies and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Their conversation unearths contradictions between manifest and contingency, solidity and uncertainty, protest and poetry, black and white Americans, and the hard and gentle truths we need for now. And they stay Stacie's name, as well as that of Sandra Bland and Gynnya McMillen. "If I die in police capacity, know that whatever story the police tell you is a lie. Know that because you know me. Say, that's not what Stacy would do. Then go out in the street and say my name."..........................Join us! #Sayhername: https://aapf.org/sayhername.See a video that Stacie and Laura collaborated on together at a Fake News Poetry Workshop on Race in the Media held in New Haven, CT, based on another of Stacie’s poems, “Anomolous,” here: http://fakenews-poetry.org/media/new-haven.html.Read or respond to a poem or hardtruth found at the online primer of digital media literacy, #100hardtruths-#fakenews or fakenews-poetry.org.Organize your own Fake News Poetry Workshop.Reach out with questions or content @ 100hardtruths@gmail.com.Twitter: @100HardTruthsInstagram: @100HardTruthsYouTube: 100 Hard Truths#BlackLivesMatter See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Monday, November 18th 8:00PM Eastern/ 5:00PM Pacific The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Laura Wexler. A writer and instructor at Johns Hopkins University, Ms. Wexler formerly resided in Georgia where she researched the 1946 Moore's Ford Bridge Lynching. Four black people, two black males and two black females, where shot and killed by a mob of Whites in July of '46. The slaughter caused national outrage and prompted a investigation from the J. Edgar Hoover's FBI. Based on these events, Wexler authored the investigative narrative piece: Fire in a Canebrake: The Last Mass Lynching in America. We'll discuss what motivated Wexler, a White woman, to investigate this case and we'll explore what this incident reveals about White dedication (not ignorance) to Racism. We'll also review Wexler's involvement with the case, as efforts continue to bring the White killers to justice. #ReadingIsMoreImportantThanWatchingTelevision INVEST in The COWS – paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS The C.O.W.S.

Everyone has a story. What’s yours? That’s the motto of the Stoop, a Baltimore storytelling series created and hosted by Laura Wexler and Jessica Henkin. Since its founding in 2006, hundreds of ordinary people have shared their 7-minute personal tales in front of a live audience. Ranging from hilarious to heartbreaking, the stories, centered around a common theme, aren’t scripted or memorized. Jessica, an improv comic who works in education, and Laura, a writer and producer, also host the Stoop Storytelling Series podcast. They talked about the inspiration for the Stoop, some of their favorite stories over the years and building a community.

Following a joint artist residency at the Yale Art Gallery in 2013, photographers Jim Goldberg and Donovan Wylie began collaboration on a book project to explore New Haven’s urban landscape. The project grew to include writings by Christopher Klatell, Yale School of Law J.D. ’99, School of Law Senior Research Scholar, and writer, and Laura Wexler, Professor of American Studies, Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and Co-Chair of the Women’s Faculty Forum at Yale, and an introduction by Pamela Franks, Senior Deputy Director and Seymour H. Knox, Jr., Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. Presented in collaboration with the newly published book, Candy/A Good and Spacious Land, and the current exhibition of Goldberg and Wylie’s work at the Yale Art Gallery, join these two artists and two writers as they explore the concept of the “model city” through the lens of New Haven.

Laura Wexler has been in the storytelling business for a decade and is host of the popular live storytelling event "the Stoop" in Baltimore. The Stoop has an archive of nearly 1000 stories told by different people -- real life stories that don't revolve around a moral or a script -- and allow listeners and the storyteller to deeply connect with each other. Although live storytelling events are now common in most cities around the U.S., when Ms. Wexler started the Stoop, few people understood the concept, but now they sell out every time because people are clamoring to hear other people being real. The Stoop is now a podcast -- you should check it out!  Laura Wexler is the co-founder and co-producer of The Stoop Storytelling Series, a Baltimore-based live show and podcast that features "ordinary" people telling the extraordinary true stories of their lives. Laura frequently presents workshops and coaching sessions to nonprofits and businesses that want to harness the power of true, personal storytelling to communicate a larger story. The Stoop Storytelling Series is a popular live show and podcast that features the extraordinary true tales of "ordinary" people. Since its founding in 2006, The Stoop has sold out nearly every show, and recently expanded its listenership through a weekly podcast.
