Mississippi: Reckoning and Rebuilding

from Long Play · host Crooked Media

Mississippi is a state with a complicated past, deep political divides and a long history of being overlooked. In the final episode of Long Play, Jen and Mitch look at Mississippi’s complex history, the lack of political investment in the state, and the people working to build power from the ground up. Discussing voting rights and the legacy of Emmett Till and Medgar Evers to the 2026 Senate race, they discover what happens when a state gets left behind and whether Mississippi is ready for something different.Guests: Wright Thompson, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, Brandon Presley, Sen. candidate Scott Colom, journalists from Mississippi Today, Mississippi Black Women’s Roundtable
