Incredibly powerful story about how we failed to build a just society and how we continue to strive for justice. Well worth the time.

This is an incredibly detailed report of not only what happened to Manny, but also the culture of police in Tacoma. I feel so much more informed and finally feel I understand what has been going on in my home.

politically curious

“The Walk Home” is a shining example of the best of new media genres: a podcast that tells an important real life / death story through deep reporting. You feel the impact that Manny Ellis’ death left on his family and the community. It’s been frustrating living in Tacoma and waiting for the officers involved to be held accountable. I’m grateful that TWH is filling out the story, reminding me what matters most—and keeping it in the public eye—as we await a trial.
