I didn't donate blood in #NYC but I did give a talk on Tuesday at the #NewmarkJSchool’s #UncoveringJusticeStories workshop--on the #PoliceKillings of Army Cpl #RomanDucksworth, Jr. in #Talorsville, #Mississippi in 1962 and #JohnWesleyWilder in #Ruston, #Louisiana in 1965.

New reporting on the Wilder case coming soon. Links to my reporting on Ducksworth at NPR and Frontline here: https://linktr.ee/bengreenberg

#OTD 2018, I had the honor of giving a talk at the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race & Justice at #HarvardLawSchool.

This talk was based on an article idea that I had been pitching, about some striking similarities between the 1962 #PoliceKilling of #RomanDucksworth, Jr. and the 2014 police killing of #MichaelBrown. An editor at a major national magazine told me it was not fair to compare the racist behavior of the two #police officers. But Harvard disagreed.
