Ep 2: James Byrd, Jr. (Murder)
Twenty-one years ago, in the small town of Jasper, Texas, 49-year-old James Byrd, Jr. was brutally murdered in a racially-motivated hate crime. Unlike other stories we'll tell this season, this one you're already likely to be familiar with, but we felt it important to share James' story as a reminder that white violence against people of color is a very real and often overlooked threat in our country.
