About this listen

This episode confronts one of the darkest chapters in American history, The Scottsboro Boys. Nine Black teenagers falsely accused, rushed through sham trials, beaten by a system designed to break them, and sentenced not for what they did, but for who they were. We strip away the textbooks and expose the raw truth: stolen childhoods, manufactured guilt, and a justice system more loyal to hatred than truth. But this isn’t just history, it’s a mirror. Their fight forces us to ask what injustice still walks free today, and what it costs to stay silent. This is a story of oppression, endurance, and the unkillable demand for justice.
What’s your Goliath—and are you brave enough to name it?
