In a seven-part series, You Didn’t See Nothin revisits a 1997 hate crime in the Bridgeport neighborhood nearly 25 years later. The podcast takes a closer look at the rush toward racial healing after a violent racist attack and the way the mainstream media ignored key details in the investigation.

Reset hears analysis from the journalist who reported on the beating in the 1990s.
