February 8, 2013:

The Scottsboro Boys, The Central Park Five, Shawn Drumgold…in all of these cases, the accused were found guilty, only to be exonerated years later, sometimes decades later.  This week on Basic Black, a conversation on searching for truth, justice delayed, and a judicial balm for wounded communities.
