Ghosts of Injustice – Reckoning With the Past
In the final episode of this powerful series, Kisha and Chris reflect on the legacy of George Stinney Jr., the real-life echoes of John Coffey, and the system that continues to criminalize Black children.
They explore what it means to reckon—not just with history, but with the injustice that still walks among us today. This episode is a call to action: to remember, to protect, and to fight for the living.
