"The Isaiah Fountain Case," and Maryland Truth and Reconciliation Commission

Maryland set up a ‘truth-and-reconciliation’ commission to come to grips with the shameful history of lynching in the Free State. We talk to its chair, David Fakunle … and to Joseph Koper, author of the book--The Isaiah Fountain Case--that asks when an execution after a trial could be called a lynching.  Links: Maryland Lynching Truth and Reconciliation Commission, The Isaiah Fountain Case.Do you have a question or comment about a show or a story idea to pitch?
