TRUE CRIME: Jeffrey Dahmer Murders

Content warning: violence, sexual assault, murder, necrophilia, cannibalism, homophobia, racism

In part 2 of A Haunted Genetic Architecture, we pick back up after Jeffery Dahmer’s trial and subsequent death a few years post-imprisonment. We spend time spotlighting the lives of those he targeted and the devastating impact these murders had on surviving family members, loved ones and the community at large. We’ll go over the rise of homophobia that occurred after media coverage of this case as well as the grassroots activism that emerged in response. Finally, we’ll highlight some groups doing vital police accountability, queer liberation and Black liberation work in Milwaukee, WI, where these stories take place.
