Host Cara Anthony and pediatrician Rhea Boyd draw health parallels between the loss experienced by two families nearly 80 years apart. In both cases, young daughters were left behind. At age 79, Nannetta Forrest, whose father, Cleo Wright, was lynched in Sikeston, Missouri, wonders how the decades-long silence that surrounded his death in 1942 influenced her life. Using audio from police body-cam video, Anthony recounts the 2020 shooting of Denzel Tayor — the father of three girls — in the same community.
Hosted by Cara Anthony, a KFF Health News Midwest correspondent and an Edward R. Murrow and National Association of Black Journalists award-winning reporter from East St. Louis, Illinois. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Time magazine, NPR, and other outlets nationwide.
