On June 17, 2015, nine Black churchgoers were murdered during Bible study at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Ten years later, their names still echo across the nation—not just as victims, but as community pillars, faith leaders, and family members whose lives were taken by hate.

In this special anniversary episode, therapist and host Solomon Richberg honors the lives lost, centers survivor stories, and explores the trauma, grief, and resilience that followed. Through a trauma-informed and culturally grounded lens, this episode reflects on what has changed—and what hasn’t—in America’s reckoning with white supremacy and racialized violence.

We remember. We reflect. We resist.

On January 8, 2021, 26-year-old Terron Evans Jr. was found unresponsive in upstate New York. The official ruling? Suicide by overdose. But the autopsy told a different story — no pills, no residue, no signs of overdose. And no real answers.

In this episode of After the Headlines, host Solomon Richberg, LCSW, dives into the facts that don’t add up, the timeline that raises questions, and the mother — Jennifer Baxtron — who refused to stay silent. We explore the red flags in the investigation, the pattern of premature case closures, and the emotional toll of institutional silence.

Terron’s story isn’t just about one young man. It’s about how systems fail Black families — and what happens when a mother turns grief into a movement.

Tamla Horsford was the only Black woman at an all-white slumber party in Forsyth County, Georgia. By morning, she was found dead in the backyard — and the official explanation? An accidental fall.

But the bruises, inconsistencies, and missing evidence suggest a story far more complicated — and deeply unsettling.

In this premiere episode of After the Headlines: Unheard Stories, Solomon Richberg, LCSW, unpacks the case, the history of Forsyth County, and the unanswered questions Tamla’s family — and the public — are still demanding be addressed.
