Send Kris and Rob a Text Message!On January 16, 1984, a young family was found brutally murdered in their Aurora, Colorado home. Patricia Smith, a 50-year-old mother and grandmother, had been bludgeoned to death with a hammer. Days later, on January 19, an even more horrifying scene was discovered in Lakewood, Colorado, where Bruce, Debra, and Melissa Bennett were murdered in their family home. Bruce and Debra were found bludgeoned to death with a hammer, and 7-year-old Melissa was also killed in the attack. Only 3-year-old Vanessa Bennett survived, albeit with severe injuries.The murders bore the same signature style — the brutal use of a hammer and intense violence. Investigators suspected they were dealing with the same killer, but despite exhaustive efforts, the case went cold for decades. The "Hammer Killer" was nowhere to be found. Until he was.

Poet Taylor Byas joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss writing about Chicago, which she does in her Maya Angelou Book Award-winning collection of poetry, I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times. She talks about growing up in the country's most segregated city, and considers its long traditions of Black, working-class, and ethnic literature, including writers like Nate Marshall, Lorraine Hansberry, Patricia Smith, and Jose Olivarez. She explains how moving away has given her a new perspective on Chicago's politics, history, crime, and beauty.

Over 12 days in January 1984, a hammer-wielding attacker terrorized the suburbs of Denver. In addition to harming several survivors, he took the lives of Patricia Smith, Debra Bennett, Bruce Bennett, and Melissa Bennett. When the murders stopped, investigators wondered why. Unbeknownst to everyone in Colorado, the elusive killer was already hitchhiking to his next destination. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/badactspod PodMoth: https://podmoth.network/ Ad: Addicted to Crime Podcast - https://www.addictedtocrime.org/ Episode Source List:https://www.courts.state.co.us/userfiles/file/Court_Probation/18th_Judicial_District/Arapahoe/Cases_of_Interest/Ewing%20DA%20Motion%202%20Complaint%20and%20Information%20Redacted.pdf https://www.da18.org/2021/08/murderer-of-auroras-bennett-family-sentenced-to-life-in-prison/ https://denvergazette.com/news/local/alex-ewing-receives-life-sentence-for-1984-hammer-killing-of-patricia-smith/article_f336cf30-ba8c-11ec-a1ef-53afacf29193.html https://www.9news.com/article/news/investigations/blame/opening-statements-1984-hammer-attack-patricia-smith/73-f14b0c60-2ef6-4c2d-92fc-a4fa3f10dc0d https://www.denverpost.com/2022/04/07/alex-ewing-hammer-killer-guilty-patricia-smith/ https://people.com/crime/bennett-killings-alex-ewing-sentenced-three-life-terms/https://www.9news.com/article/news/investigations/blame/alex-ewing-court-outburst/73-48434654-4760-4daf-a260-c8bcd84e3e47 https://people.com/crime/people-magazine-investigates-victim-colorado-hammer-killer-speaks-out/ https://news3lv.com/news/local/nevada-inmate-to-stand-for-trial-for-colorado-murders-more-than-three-decades-later https://www.9news.com/article/news/investigations/blame/alex-christopher-ewing-1984-colorado-hammer-attacks/73-d668975a-1b27-4ddb-872a-f58c186a4a9e https://www.denverpost.com/2015/02/01/aurora-woman-attacked-by-serial-killer-seeks-release-of-withheld-clue/ https://www.aetv.com/real-crime/vanessa-bennett-survivor “The Colorado Hammer Killer.” People Magazine Investigates.

Understanding where you came from, how you became the person you are, and why you value the things you value--those are all reasons my guest Patrica would say it is important to understand your family history. The concept of history is so fickle in a world that changes so rapidly. Perspectives disappear and it is usually a subjective decision on what stories are told. That is the exact reason Patricia values preserving and telling her family's story so much (as she is doing through her work and podcast- Charity's Children). Her story is particularly interesting because it is told through the lens of a matriarchy. It is a story centered around the women in of one of the oldest African American families in Dayton, Ohio. Hearing about the courage, conviction, and character of these black women dating back to the 1800's is really powerful. But when you get to hear it through Patricia's poetic and thoughtful narrative, it becomes something even more special. We covered a good bit in this one, starting with the importance of preserving history, what it does for the individual, and what it does for society. We discussed what made Patricia's ancestors, starting with her 4th great grandmother Charity, so unique for their time. We also dove into the philosophical aspect her story and if we should focus more on the anger, frustration and disappointment of what her family had to go through (as black people living in America) or the beauty, courage, and inspiration that resulted from them going through it. Patricia doesn't have grandkids yet but we explored how she intends to pass down the story to them as well. What are the things she would want the story to say about her? How can she teach children the importance of knowing their history (something it took her a long time to realize herself)? Through all of the discussion, I couldn't help but notice the overlap between Patricia's value and what I am trying to do with this podcast. It comes back to the same concepts of trying to be curious, to understand why you are who you are, and to remain humble by appreciating all the people who paved the way in front of you.

Patricia Smith Griffin is a historian, genealogist, podcaster, and the keeper of a rich family history. She is descended from early Ohio settler Charity Davis Ceasar Broady and was told the story of her family's legacy, passed down through the generations by the women in her family, since the time she was born. To honor her family and keep the stories alive, Patricia founded Charity's Children Project, a non-profit organization committed to establishing a multicultural center in Dayton, Ohio, and wrote and voiced The Legacy of Charity's Children, a short story podcast series that illuminates the generational journey of one of Dayton's oldest African American families.Patricia joins me to show us how single women can leave a legacy for themselves by telling us the stories of her unmarried (and married late in life) relatives and how their accomplishments shaped her family. She also gives us some tips on how you can find the spinsters in your family tree.

     Imagine you experiencing something so horrendous, so unfathomable that your life becomes like shattered pieces...Just as ink blots paper, our brain blocks memories... a last attempt at self-preservation... as survival...Being the sole survivor can be a testament to that determination or even be seen as good fortune... We wish.  The reality is those pieces are never brought together as they were... But with tenderness and a community coming together, it can be made into something new...Cracks glued and forever visible...However... What happens when this isn't the case?  After all...

"I think we are definitely dealing with a serial killer. He's not really getting much money out of the shops. We don't know why he's killing people."Between April and May of 1992, a series of shooting deaths took place in Midwest shops, located intermittently along Interstate 70. Four of the victims - Robin Fuldauer, Patricia Smith, Nancy Kitzmiller, and Sarah Blessing - were young brunettes. The other two - Patricia Magers and Michael "Mick" McCown - appeared to be outliers. For years, investigators have struggled to determine why the offender committed these crimes, with robbery and sexual assault not believed to be motives. And while the offender hasn't yet been caught, he has been linked to other crimes committed in Texas and Indiana, including a 2001 murder in which the offender was caught on surveillance footage...To view the surveillance footage of the offender from the 2001 murder of Billy Brossman in Terra Haute, Indiana, please view and share the clip from KMOV St. Louis linked below:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14tW-boOvgU Episode researched & written by Troy LarsonEpisode hosted & produced by Micheal WhelanOriginal music created by Micheal Whelan through Amper MusicLearn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast and others, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or Producer

During the decades many school systems disdained Black students, African-American parents found creative ways to line up education. In Harford County, parents scraped together resources for a tiny primary school, then decades later worked with civic leaders and lawmakers to expand it into a high school. Retired Army Col. Patricia Smith leads the effort to restore the Havre de Grace Colored School … where Janice Grant graduated in 1951: “There were times when only the teacher had a book. And we had to buy copy books. And the teacher would stand in front of the class and read the one book. And we would have to write it in the copy books. And that would be our books.”  Then author Philip Merrill tells about Rosenwald Schools in Maryland.  Links: The Havre de Grace Colored School Museum and Cultural Center, Education Week on preserving Rosenwald Schools, The Aegis Newspaper Janice E.

The night of Friday, December 10, was a stressful one for legions of Americans across the mid-South as tornado sirens blared, with everybody and their brother no doubt gathered around whatever mess they might have, or not have, in their basements. Owner-operator Daniel Koors of Indiana was up late monitoring storms' progress himself that night – as you'll hear in today's edition of the Overdrive Radio podcast. Though the destruction to his South in Kentucky was readily apparent that night, the next morning owner-operator Koors felt motivated even further to help when daylight shone on just how devastating it was. Koors got a call from a fellow operator based in Lexington, and, some calls later, was on his way there with a dry van in tow to collect relief supplies and cash to distribute wherever it was needed. The operation continued for a full week, ultimately, as Koors told it. The friend who'd put out the call to Koors for potential use of the truck was Lexington-based James Toller, but he wasn't the only one involved in their effort. Greg Anderson, owner of small fleet AK Trucking, helped out, as did another trucking associate, Patricia Smith, in addition to the legions of folks donating to the effort on-site and from afar, of course. Two dry boxes' worth of supplies were gathered in parking lots around Lexington and then distributed to Kentucky families, ultimately, in addition to around $12,000 donated in person and online. Supplies were pulled behind Koors' 05 International. Today on the podcast, we're going to hear much more about the individual relief effort, yet another testament to how, when the going gets tough in the face of disaster, the tough get trucking for their fellow man.

Chris sits down with Alan Chazaro, author of Piñata Theory and This Isn't a Frank Ocean Cover Album (Black Lawrence Press), to talk about passions, process, pitfalls, and poetry! Alan Chazaro's Website Bio: I write about things. After 10 years working as a public high school teacher in Louisiana, Massachusetts, and California, I decided to pursue my creative interests more seriously and have been living as a freelancer who travels when I can to enjoy cultures around the world. I'm a San Francisco Bay Area local with Mexican dual-citizenship, existing between both countries as I continue to write, edit, teach, and grow. In 2018, I graduated with my MFA in Creative Writing from the University of San Francisco where I was a Lawrence Ferlinghetti Poetry Fellow, which is awarded to a writer “whose work embodies a concern for social justice and freedom of expression.” Previously, I attended Foothill Community College, and later UC Berkeley, where I participated in June Jordan's Poetry for the People program. I also picked up some game from Patricia Smith, among others, at the Voices Of Our Nations. My first poetry collection, This Is Not a Frank Ocean Cover Album, was the winner of the 2018 Black River Chapbook Competition and my second, Piñata Theory, was awarded the 2018 Hudson Prize. They are both available with Black Lawrence Press. Currently, I'm working as an adjunct professor at the University of San Francisco, managing an online basketball blog, HeadFake, moonlighting as a contributing writer at KQED and SFGATE, and just asking questions wherever I go. Shout out my Oakland School for the Arts students who drew portraits of me so I don't ever need to take an author photo. You can see what I'm currently thinking about here. _________________________- Check out The Poetry Question --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this episode of Out of the Archives, "Silent Voices Among Us: Stories from Chicago's Henry Horner Homes," which named after our online exhibition of the same name, we share stories from residents of the Henry Horner Homes, known to many of its residents as the Hornets. The stories range from different experiences from the early years of the Henry Horner Homes to moving out during their demolition. A special thanks to the storytellers from this episode, including Crystal Palmer, Marina Pullom, Patricia Smith, John Pettiford, Sharon Leggitt, and Maria Moon. We'd also like to thank the members of the Museum's Oral History Corps and other oral historians who recorded these stories including Francesco De Salvatore, Raymond McDonald, and Maria Moon. The Henry Horner Homes were constructed between 1957 and 1959 and contained 920 units. Thousands of residents lived in the Henry Horner Homes between 1957 and 1995 when demolition began. The demolition ran in phases beginning in 1995 until 2008, which made way for the Westhaven mixed-income community, which was established in 1997. The stories in this episode span from 1962 to 2013.

CW: discussion of sexual assault, murder, incest, and blood.

  Dearest beloved—you're back just in time to hear us chop it up about the ethics of writing (and publishing) work about family. And have a beautiful chat with beautiful poet Geffrey Davis. GEFFREY DAVIS is the author of Night Angler (BOA Editions), winner of the 2018 James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets, and Revising the Storm ​(BOA Editions), winner of the 2013 A. Poulin, Jr. Poetry Prize. ​A native of the Pacific Northwest, Davis lives with his family in Fayetteville, AR. He teaches at the University of Arkansas and with The Rainier Writing Workshop, Pacific Lutheran's low-residency MFA program. Davis also serves as poetry editor for Iron Horse Literary Review.   BOURBON IN A SMALL GOLD GLASS   “if the poem follows / you home, whiskey” —tai freedom ford, “how to get over ["when the poem flirts..."] “beauty you can stick a manicured finger / into and through, beauty that doesn't rely / on any sentence the sun chants, it's whiskey / swelter blown scarlet” —Patricia Smith, “Prologue—And Then She Owns You” “I inhale the perfume of the Bourbon rose, then try to separate / what is scent, sense, and what you call memory, what is emotion, where in a / dialogue like touching is it so vibratory and so absorbent of my attention and / longing, with impressions like fingerprints all over.” —Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge, “Hello, The Roses” Sometimes, it's best to just keep things simple. Sometimes, you just want bourbon in a small gold glass. This was one of those weeks! Bourbon in a Small Gold Glass pairs well with many things, including late-night talks about family, thunderstorms real and remembered, and our early spring conversation with the incredible Geffrey Davis.
