What does it really mean when a Black man in America can be dragged through the courts not once, not twice, but six times for the same crime—with no solid evidence and no real justice?

This week, we’re diving deep into the story of Curtis Flowers, a man from Mississippi who spent over two decades fighting for his freedom after being accused of a 1996 murder he always said he didn’t commit.

This isn’t just another true crime case—it’s a mirror held up to the system. The same system that let prosecutors play dirty while pretending to play fair. The same system that stacked all the odds against a man who never stood a chance in their eyes. And the same system that needed a podcast—not the courts—to finally shed light on the truth and help set Curtis free.

We get into how this all happened, why it matters, and what it tells us about being Black and caught up in a machine that was never built to protect us. If you’ve ever side-eyed the so-called justice system, if you know how exhausting it is to be seen as guilty until proven innocent, or if you just want to hear a story that will stay with you long after the episode ends—press play.

This one hits different. Don’t miss it. I’m

What happens when the revolution needs funding—and a Brink’s truck rolls through town? In 1981, a crew of Black liberation soldiers and white radical allies said bet, and pulled off one of the wildest armored car heists in U.S. history.

They weren’t in it for the Lambos. They were in it for the movement. But when $1.6 million goes missing, cops end up dead, and the FBI gets loud? Let’s just say the aftermath is anything but lowkey.

We’re diving deep into the stick-up that shook the suburbs—unpacking the politics, the people, and the price of pushing back against the system.

If you love your true crime with a little side-eye, a little history, and a lotta Black perspective—you’re in the right place.

Kansas City got a real problem in the summer of ‘77… and his last name was Gilyard.

What happens when violence doesn’t just run in a family — it thrives there? In this episode, we’re digging into the twisted, messy, and downright chilling story of the Gilyard family.

Lorenzo Gilyard — the mild-mannered dad-next-door — spent over a decade terrorizing Kansas City as The Kansas City Strangler. But baby, Lorenzo didn’t come outta nowhere. His father? Violent predator. His sister? Caught up in crimes of her own. Turns out, generational trauma in this family looked a whole lot like generational terror.

This is a story about predators hiding in plain sight — mowing the lawn, kissing their kids goodnight, sitting next to you in church — all while leaving a trail of devastation in their wake.

Buckle up, because we’re talking family secrets, serial murder, and the nightmare that was the Gilyard family.

The truth is out there. Are you ready to uncover it? Let’s get to work.

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode, we revisit the tragic and deeply unsettling case of Sandra Bland, a 28-year-old Black woman whose arrest and subsequent death in a Texas jail in 2015 sparked national outrage and became a rallying cry for the Black Lives Matter movement. Through interviews with activists, legal experts, and those who knew her, we explore the circumstances surrounding her arrest, the systemic issues within law enforcement, and the ongoing fight for accountability and justice.

We also examine the role of Sandra’s own voice, captured in her Sandy Speaks videos, where she passionately spoke out against racism and police brutality. Her story is a stark reminder of the work still to be done in the fight for racial equality and the importance of amplifying marginalized voices. Join us as we honor Sandra Bland’s legacy and discuss how her case continues to shape conversations about policing, race, and justice in America today.

The truth is out there. Are you ready to uncover it? Let’s get to work.

What do you get when you mix a 21-year-old revolutionary, a breakfast-loving Black Panther, and a government that’s way too scared of both? The explosive story of Fred Hampton—a man whose charisma and vision made him a hero to the people and public enemy number one to the FBI.

In this episode of The Black Docket, we’re diving into the life and untimely death of Fred Hampton, the chairman of the Illinois Black Panther Party who was building a Rainbow Coalition faster than the feds could tear it down. But on December 4, 1969, the FBI and Chicago PD decided to crash the party—literally—in a raid that left Hampton dead, his apartment riddled with bullets, and a whole lot of questions unanswered.

We’ll break down the shady tactics of COINTELPRO, the courtroom drama that followed, and why Fred Hampton’s legacy still has the government sweating bullets (pun intended). Spoiler alert: it’s equal parts inspiring, infuriating, and a masterclass in how to organize like your life depends on it—because, well, it did.

So grab your coffee (or your free breakfast, Panther-style) and tune in for a story that’s equal parts history lesson, true crime thriller, and call to action. Because if there’s one thing Fred Hampton taught us, it’s that the people *can* win—but only if we keep fighting.

In this powerful episode, we dive into the heartbreaking and infuriating story of Rekia Boyd, a 22-year-old Black woman whose life was tragically cut short in 2012 by an off-duty Chicago police officer. What unfolded that night sparked outrage, protests, and a relentless fight for justice that continues to resonate today.

Join us as we explore the details of the case, the systemic issues it exposed, and the community’s unwavering demand for accountability. We’ll hear from activists, legal experts, and those who knew Rekia, painting a vivid picture of her life, the injustice she faced, and the ongoing struggle to ensure her story is never forgotten.

This is more than just a case—it’s a call to action, a reminder of the work still to be done, and a testament to the power of collective voices in the fight for justice. Tune in, get informed, and be part of the conversation.
