Episode Description

Over the last two decades, 51 women, most of whom were Black, were killed in Chicago in similar ways. Most of their deaths have never been solved. And their stories have been underreported or incomplete. Samantha Latson is a student journalist who has been sharing some of the stories from these women’s lives. As part of a class at Roosevelt University, Latson and other students created the website Unforgotten51.com. She tells Jacoby more about the project.
