NPR Podcast White Lies
Recently NPR ran a series of podcasts about the 1965 murder of Rev. James Reeb in Selma, Alabama. Three men were tried and acquitted, but no one was ever held to account. Fifty years later, two journalists from Alabama returned to the city where it happened, exposed the lies that kept the murder from being solved and uncovered a story about guilt and memory that says as much about America today as it does about the past. Those journalists will be at Emmet O'Neal Library tonight to discuss the podcast and its reception.
