Content Warning: This episode contains adult language, murder, racism, and corruption. Listener discretion, is advised.

Someone knows something. In 1964, during the Freedom Summer in Jim Crow era Mississippi, there were 2 murders that were overlooked and lost to time. Now, decades later, their stories are being told so that they will not be forgotten. This is the story of Charles Moore and Henry Dee. Join us as we explore the long road to justice that winds us from rural Mississippi, all the way to Canada, and meet the people who relentlessly and doggedly dug through corrupt law enforcement and politics, to challenge the KKK and bring the truth into the light.
