Great podcast!
This is a wonderful podcast! I am finishing season 4 now, and I’m so thankful for all the people involved in telling this story. These stories need to be heard! Definitely worth a listen!
A Beacon of Hope
This podcast leaves a profound impression. I’m awed and humbled by the work done from students at Georgia State University. I was once a student of Georgia State University, and I find myself reflecting on all the lives I interacted with, but never knew. That’s what the show gave me. It offered a chance to see and glimpse the lives of people I never knew. My world is broader, and my horizon further because of it. Amidst the sorrow and suffering, I feel hope. if I were to sum up this podcast, I would say it is a beacon of hope on how the future can be different from the past.
Close to home
I was born in Albany. Drove through Dawson hundreds of times. The racist South was no mystery to me. My grandfather (German Jew escaped in 1939) settled and thrived in Americus, ga where the court case failed the Brazier family. I was raised to abhor racists. I wished many times during this 4th season that I could ask what they remembered and I nderstois about the Brazier murder. They did read the Albany Herald after 1960. I am not surprised by the racist police. But I am about the brazen evil and brutality in this case. Heartbreaking.
