And hopefully, you know, down the road, this will lead to some other things.

I also want to thank Ingrid Cockhren for coming on and basically continuing the discussion that we had with Dr. Stacey Patton about the concept of trauma and how it's impacting not just black folks, but but white folks in America and how it's shaping our politics as well as our culture.

There's been a shape-shifting, sure, from public lynchings, where they came out to...

What did he do? We're listening to, to Trayvon Martin scream.

What were white supremacist motivations and what did they hope to achieve by publicly and privately lynching black children?

So today we have Dr. Stacey Patton.

Dr. Stacey Patton is a journalist and a college professor, but she's also an author, and she has written this book called Strung Up, which talks about the lynching of Black children.

Thank you, Grace, for that Moment of News.

And now it's time for my guest, Dr. Stacey Patton.

It meant you were lucky to get out alive.

The opening to a book that grips tightly and doesn't let go, Strung Up: How White America Learned to Lynch Black Children, by award-winning journalist, author, professor, and nationally recognized child advocate, Dr. Stacey Patton.

Stacey, welcome to the podcast.

Thanks so much for having me.

It had to be written because the dead can't interrupt the stories that are told about them.

And so I wanted Strung Up to be that interruption.

The book is Strung Up, How White America Learned to Lynch Black Children by Dr. Stacey Patton.
