Creators of "American Reckoning" tackle unsolved murder of Wharlest Jackson - a podcast by Radio.com

Wharlest Jackson was a Korean War veteran and a Mississippi NAACP leader who was murdered in 1967 in the Deep South. His murder is still unsolved, and now it's the focus of a PBS Frontline documentary called American Reckoning. The film takes us back to the Civil Rights Era to examine Jackson's murder, and it also looks at the Black opposition to racist violence in the South, including a group called the Deacons for Defense and Justice. We asked American Reckoning co-directors and producers Brad Lichtenstein and Yoruba Richen to talk about the film and the story behind it on KYW Newsradio In Depth.
