  • Summary

  • Wright Thompson grew up in the Mississippi Delta, unaware that his family farm was just 23 miles away from the barn where 14 year old Emmett Till was murdered in 1955. When writing The Barn, Wright had to take a look at the place he had always known as home with fresh eyes and courageously uncover the details of Emmett's tragic story that had been buried for decades. In today’s episode, Wright and Ryan continue their conversation about Emmett Till’s legacy, the complexity of American history, why it’s important to know where you come from, and the responsibility of preserving Emmett’s story.
