Show Notes

The Civil Rights Cold Case Records Review Board, which reviews civil rights cold case incidents that happened between January 1, 1940, through December 31, 1979, recently released three new cases. Hank Klibanoff, a longtime journalist, the host of WABE's “Buried Truths” podcast, and the co-chair of the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Review Board, and Gabrielle Dudley, a member of the board, discuss some of the cases, the history and mission of their board.

Plus, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the pioneering sitcom, “Good Times.” The television show follows the story of a Black family living in a Chicago housing project. NPR's TV critic Eric Deggans and Rosalyn ‘Roz’ Grimes, a longtime fan of “Good Times” talk more about the show and its longstanding cultural impact.
