LIVELocal, USA - Silence In Sikeston
The story of how the 1942 lynching of Cleo Wright - and the failure of the first federal attempt to prosecute a lynching - continues to haunt a small Missouri city. In 2020, the past reverberates in the present in the police killing of a young Black father. SILENCE IN SIKESTON explores the necessary questions about history, trauma, silence and resilience in a community divided over 78 years.
