On November 24, 2015, dashcam footage of a Chicago police officer shooting and killing 17-year-old Laquan McDonald was made public after months and months of protests and investigative reporting. The story of his murder and the subsequent attempts by local officials to bury it continues to cast a shadow over Chicago a decade later. We are joined by the Invisible Institute’s Jamie Kalven and The Triibe’s Tonia Hill. Together, we reflect on the efforts of McDonald’s family, organizers, journalists, and eyewitnesses, who worked diligently to bring attention to McDonald’s murder and what happened after the video was released to the world.
Good News: The Juju Exchange, The Spades Table, John Walt Day
