This month in our Black Lives Matter series, we discuss the death of Darren Cumberbatch. Darren was a quick-witted and friendly electrician who was punched, kicked, pepper-sprayed, and tased by British Police while suffering from Acute Behavioral Disturbance in the toilet of a bail hostel in Nuneaton. This is Darren’s story.

In March 1995 a Kansas mechanic bought an old truck at auction; as he started to fix it up he discovered a manila envelope taped to the gas tank. To his horror, inside were 97 photos - most of them were of children being sexually abused. There was also a series of photos of a badly beaten, naked young woman. 

He called the police, and this harrowing discovery unbelievably solved multiple, decades-long unsolved mysteries…

Madalyn Murray O’Hair, was a woman very not of her time. In buttoned-up 50s America she called herself a militant feminist, a thinker and a drinker and - perhaps most heinous of all: an atheist. 

Her provocative ways quickly gained her the illustrious title of "the most hated woman in America".
