You Didn't See Nothin
The Pulitzer Prize and Peabody Award-winning “You Didn't See Nothin” follows Yohance Lacour as he revisits the story that introduced him to the world of investigative journalism. Part investigation and part memoir, Yohance examines how its ripple effects have shaped his life over the past quarter-century. In 1997, Lenard Clark was beaten into a coma by a gang of older white teens simply for being Black in a white neighborhood. One of Lenard’s attackers was from a powerful Chicago family. The media quickly turned towards stories of reconciliation and racial healing, with cooperation by Black leaders and the attacker’s family. Yohance wasn’t having any of it. At the time of the attack, he was in his early 20s, writing plays, selling weed, and living at his dad’s house on the South Side of Chicago. Unable to stand by silently, he began working with a neighborhood newspaper to investigate the vicious hate crime. Reporting on the incident led him to grow increasingly disillusioned with journalism. From USG Audio and the Invisible Institute – creators of the 2020 Pulitzer Finalist podcast “Somebody” – “You Didn't See Nothin” finds Yohance back in Chicago after a 10-year prison sentence, tracking down key players to examine how this story connects to our present moment.

Telling these stories is important. For white folx or people of privilege it is important that we listen. Wake up every day. For black folx, listen with care. Secondary to the importance of the message, but still very much worth mentioning - Mr. Lacour is an amazing story teller. He is interesting, humorous, introspective, and powerful. I could not stop listening. Kudos to him and his whole team.

Great podcast. Very informative. You can hear him putting what happened in his own life in the mix. at first, I was like “we didn’t need to know” but as the story went on? It grew on me. He doesn’t stutter over his words and speaks clearly. Can’t wait to finish!
