Consider This from NPR

O.J. Simpson's trial divided the nation. What legacy does he leave behind?


Listen Later

O.J. Simpson was more than a football star. More than a pop culture icon or a defendant acquitted of murder.

The murder trial of O.J. Simpson became not only about one man and two victims, but the entire country. Coming up, we assess the legacy of a case, and a verdict, that put race in America on the stand.
