This episode, the retelling of Claude Neal’s lynching in Jackson County, Florida, raises the bar. Poet L. Lamar Wilson, who grew up there, keeps “one of the most … well-attended lynchings in U.S. history” from being forgotten. STARTER EPISODE “ICE is using therapy notes to deport young immigrants” The Washington Post’s Post Reports’ unique structure allows you to know the most pressing APRIL 2020 • issues of the day while deep diving into underreported stories.
