Investigating the 1958 Death of James Brazier


Listen Later

The fourth season of "Buried Truths" investigates the death of a Black man in a town known for its violent, racist treatment of people of color. In 1958, James Brazier died of brain damage days after police beat him on his front lawn.

A local police officer, Weyman B. Cherry, was notoriously violent with Black residents. His Georgia County earned the moniker "Terrible Terrell."

We talk to Klibanoff about investigating the cold case and "Terrible Terrell."
