Emmett Till, James Chaney, Medgar Evers and four little girls from Birmingham—these are the stories we know. But the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act lifted the veil on many more victims of racially motivated violence for whom there still has been no justice. In partnership with RetroReport, “American Reckoning” is the story of one of those cases, the killing of NAACP leader Wharlest Jackson in Natchez, Mississippi, in 1967.
