White Lies
White Lies is Chip Brantley and Andrew Beck Grace investigating the 1965 murder of the Rev. James Reeb in Selma, and the stories a town told instead.
The reporting is patient and local. People who were there contradict the file, and the hosts let the contradiction stand until the tape earns a conclusion.
NPR carried it as a model of cold-case narrative that is really about memory and power. The question is not only who struck the blows. It is who was allowed to forget.
The early episodes teach you the map. Leaving after the most dramatic interview misses the part about the lie in the title.
