Jerry Mitchell is an award-winning investigative reporter and author of Race Against Time: A Reporter Reopens the Unsolved Murder Cases of the Civil Rights Era.” Jerry sits down with Mark to discuss this incredible historical examination and shares details from decades of research and time spent covering racially charged trials in the Deep South. That includes time spent time with infamous Klansman Byron De La Beckwith while he was jailed ahead of his trial for assassinating civil rights activist Medgar Evers, a time when he convinced a source to leak him the transcript of a sealed interview with convicted murderer and white supremacist Sam Bowers, and how some of the pushback to his work comes in the form of death threats from klansmen.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
