This Sunday night, @60Minutes will feature the story of Curtis Flowers. Grateful to producer Draggan Mihailovich + the entire team at @60Minutes for taking the time to tell this story so carefully.
Three years, eight months and two days ago, I got an email about a man on death row in Mississippi. His name was Curtis Flowers. Today, in final episode of S2 of @InTheDarkAPM, Curtis tells his story for the first time. https://t.co/p57dUjU48p
A pattern of racism and gender inequity at APMG has harmed our ability to serve our public mission and our audiences. We can do better. Read the letters from employees demanding accountability and change. https://t.co/nryCO3hArg #transformMPR#transformAPM
I believe the 8 women who bravely confided in @MarianneSCombs. I trust Marianne's judgment as an award-winning journalist, and believe that what she said is true. I believe all survivors who make the terrifying and vulnerable decision to come forward.
Thank you to everyone for your kind notes. I’m grateful to everyone who has supported our work in ways big and small. Thank you for caring about this case and following it with us for so long. The truth is powerful.
New episode of the podcast out this morning, based on Friday's decision by the Mississippi A.G. to drop all charges against Curtis Flowers.

I would like to encourage anyone who wouldn't apply because they haven't seen a voice like theirs in the scene to apply. I had very little experience on air and for my "air check" I recorded myself reading a (non-music) magazine in my friends basement and sent it in.
That @InTheDarkAPM won @PeabodyAwards and @RFKHumanRights recently brings two feelings: gratitude for colleagues at @apmreports whose reporting freed a black man from death row after a white prosecutor’s flawed case; and resolve in the face of much more journalism to be done.
Today is the last day to have your donation to @InTheDarkAPM doubled via a match from the APM board of directors. So if you’ve been meaning to give, today would be a particular good day! Investigative reporting isn’t cheap, and we really need your help. https://t.co/hzGnRUYIx1
BLC needs for tomorrow: running low on non-perishable foods, snacks; cooking oil. Could also use hair products for all hair types and other hygiene products. Water also helpful for vols and people picking up items.
DO NOT need pads.
White people:
We gotta talk about burn out. You aren’t conditioned to be thinking about race this much because of your privilege. We need you to do all you’re doing today, tomorrow, and until the end of time.
Let’s talk about ways to focus on current & systemic change.
