  1. New #research article coming out this year showing that US Southern counties with #CivilRights organizations during the movement era (1954-65) now enjoy less #RacialInequality than those lacked any orgs. This diagram shows the prevalence of these CR organizations by county. Lots of #NAACP chapters, relatively few CORE orgs or #SNCC projects. Most counties had just one of the "Big 4" (NAACP, CORE, SNCC, or #SCLC), 44% had 0. Counties containing #Atlanta and #Jackson, MS had all four. #Juneteenth

  2. I'm new on journa.host, so an #introduction.

    I'm an #IndependentJournalist—reporting mostly on #CivilRights #ColdCases. I reported for #Frontline's Emmy Award winning #Unresolved, but I've been on this beat since 2005.

    My blog in the aughts about/inspired by my father's time as special assistant to #MLK in the #SCLC was how I got started.

    Stories are mainly in #Mississippi, but currently I'm working w/support from #TypeInvestigations on the 1965 #PoliceKilling of a Black man in #Louisiana.
