March 07, 2022 Political Rewind: Race, justice and murder in The Three Death Sentences of Clarence Henderson
Panel:
Chris Joyner — Author, “The Three Death Sentences of Clarence Henderson”
Jim Galloway — Former political columnist, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s reporter Chris Joyner said that the strange story of Henderson and Buddy Stevens had been part of his life since he began his career in newspapers more than 20 years ago. And now, he’s turned it into a fascinating book, “The Three Death Sentences of Clarence Henderson.”
But in telling the story, Joyner broadens his lens, giving readers insights about postwar life in Carrollton, the emergence of scientific methods in analyzing criminal evidence, the politics of race that played out in gubernatorial politics and more. And along the way, we learn about communists and Klan members in Georgia, too.
