Show Notes

Laura is back! This week we cover the deceptive murder of Sydney Loofe and the false accusation of William Brown that led to his death. We apologize for the late addition but we will from this point on be releasing our episodes on Sundays. We will also be working on buying some new audio equipment because what we have is weak.

 

Heather did forget...again, to list sources. They are as follows: Vox article by Dylan Mattews, Politico.com article by Tom Lewis, Time.com article from Olivia Wasman, Nebraskapublicmedia.org article by Brandon Mcdermott, Nebraskastudies.org, and a large portion of the William Brown story from a paper by Edith Ritt-Coulter from the University of Texas titled 'Narrating Black Masculinity:An Examination of Racialized Violence and Gender in the Omaha Race Riot of 1919.'
