A special episode of the podcast hosted by Dr. Hank Klibanoff, a veteran journalist and historian in Emory’s Creative Writing Program, was recently featured by the Emory News Center. Titled Buried Truths, Klibanoff’s award-winning podcast mirrors his undergraduate initiative, the Georgia Civil Rights Cold Cases Project, in seeking to explain how racially-motivated killings went unpunished in the Civil Rights era. In the special episode, “Sallie Mama 1923-2020,” Klibanoff remembers Sallie Nixon, whose husband Isaiah was murdered in rural Georgia in 1948 for voting. Sallie Nixon died of COVID-19 in July 2020. The Nixon family was the focus of season one of “Buried Truths,” which won a Robert F. Kennedy Award in 2019 and the prestigious Peabody Award in 2018. Listen to the episode, which is produced by the Atlanta NPR affiliate WABE: “Sallie Mama 1923-2020.”
