“This is truly the stuff I wish I had learned in history class. Grateful that we can at least try to honor the victims by hearing their truth. Maybe someday we’ll actually learn from our mistakes… maybe more people will reflect upon what is the real danger in this country, see beyond the surface...”Read full review »

“I’m grateful to these journalists for the lengths they went to in their effort to solve the cold case of this murder. I’m grateful for the willingness of witnesses to finally go on record with the truth. And I’m grateful to Marie Reeb for her stunning compassion for the men who carried their...”Read full review »

“As a white southerner, I desperately need stories like this — deep reflection on how whiteness (and all it entails) shapes public and private memory, forgetting, and the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves. Highly recommend”

“Season 1 - In 1965, Reverend James Reeb — a Unitarian minister and civil-rights activist — was killed during the voting rights movement in Selma. This seven-part investigative podcast, hosted by native Alabamians Chip Brantley and Andrew Beck Grace is incredible.”

“Very interesting, I very well narrated. However, the music does not offer drama as it is intended. Instead, it is loud and intrusive, way too long, and gets in the way of the story. Illuminate the music, and it would be five stars!”

“I was raised in Virginia. We left when I was 12 and I was shocked to discover upon entering a Yankee middle school that the south had lost the Civil War. I thought it had been kind of like a draw. The anti-racism work that I learned in college at Michigan State University and that I did on my own...”Read full review »

“Wellll… was enjoying it and learning some history up until the end when in true NPR fashion, they had to bad mouth Trump and put their bias spin on what he said. Totally unnecessary to put their leftist propaganda in their commentary. And to think my tax dollars fund this nonsense.”
