"Hate Crime" w/ Joyce King

from Race, Violence & Medicine Hosted by Dr. Brian Williams

On June 7, 1998, James Byrd Jr., a forty-nine-year-old black man, was walking home from a party when three white men in a pickup truck offered him a ride. They drove Byrd out to a lonely country road, tied him to a logging chain, and dragged him three miles to his death. Joyce King, an award-winning journalist and native Texan, was assigned to cover the story, which drew international media headlines. In "Hate Crime," she provides a chilling re-creation of the slaying and the subsequent trials.
