A hate crime on CHICAGO's SOUTH SIDE in 1997 is the focus of a new podcast from the INVISIBLE INSTITUTE and USG AUDIO.
In "YOU DIDN'T SEE NOTHIN," launching on FEBRUARY 15th with the first three of seven episodes, journalist YOHANCE LACOUR, who was a writer and weed seller at the time, revisits the 1997 beating of teen LENARD CLARK by a gang of white teens and the subsequent media treatment of a vicious hate crime as a "fairy tale of racial reconciliation." Episodes 4 and 5 will post on FEBRUARY 22nd, with the last two episodes available on MARCH 1st.
