In this episode, I interview Chicago-based investigative journalist Yohance Lacour. Our conversation ranges from his upbringing—books he was given by his parents, the influence of an uncle, and his early awareness of the African-American experience—to his ten-year incarceration for selling drugs. We also discuss his podcast, "You Didn’t See Nothin’," a history of a young black boy named Lenard Clark who was beaten into a coma in 1997 for riding his bike into a white neighborhood. The podcast, part investigation and part memoir, reviews the case and the complex characters involved.
