This case spans decades… and the ending is not what you think.

In this episode of Melanin Mysteries, we dive into the complicated and haunting case of Mamie Brown and her husband Joseph Green Brown, also known as Shabaka Waglimi. What begins as a story of love, survival, and redemption slowly unravels into something far darker.

This case takes us from the Deep South in the 1970s, through a wrongful conviction that lands a man on death row, to a shocking release — only for history to repeat itself decades later. It’s a story of violence, unanswered questions, system failures, and a cycle that never truly broke.
