We are here a day early. You don't want to miss this information-packed episode of The Deal! Join me along with Val Atkinson and Irv Joyner as we take an in-depth look at the 1/6 hearing and the rest of the top stories from the week. Joining us on the panel for the first time is Dr. Emmitt Y. Riley, III. Dr. Riley holds a joint appointment as an Associate Professor of Africana Studies and Political Science. Emmitt also serves as Director of the Africana Studies program at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, and the President-Elect of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists and Larz A. Whitcomb Endowed Faculty Fellow (2022-2025). Dr. Riley is the coauthor of Racial Attitudes in America Today: One Nation, Still Divided.
You can read Dr. Riley's op-ed on the recent discovery of a warrant for Carolyn Bryant, whose false accusations lead to the lynching of Emmitt Till. https://www.mississippifreepress.org/25526/serve-the-warrant-black-mississippi-leaders-must-demand-justice-for-the-murder-of-emmett-till We'll explore whether or not justice can be done and force Mrs. Byant to face her day in court, after all of these years.
