An interview with Jack Lessenberry, author of "Reason vs. Racism: A Newspaper Family, Race and Justice"
<p>In this episode of the Fugitive Farmer True Crime Podcast, author and journalist Jack Lessenberry discusses his recently published book "Reason vs. Racism: A Newspaper Family, Race and Justice." Thoroughly researched, the book examines how a chain of newspapers owned by the Block family covered issues related to race from the 1910s to the election of Barack Obama and beyond. Along the way, Lessenberry weaves in historical vignettes ranging from the notorious June 1920 lynching of three Black men in Duluth, Minnesota, to the 1920s-era heroism of Tom Lee, a Black man who saved 32 white people from drowning after an overloaded excursion boat capsized in the Mississippi River. Block lionized Lee in his newspapers, only to get nasty pushback from white racists. https://lessenberryink.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Reason-vs-Racism-Jack-Lessenberry-ebook/dp/B08WJRC8R1</p>

An interview with Barry Siegel, author of "A Death in White Bear Lake"
In this episode of the Fugitive Farmer true crime podcast, we're pleased to be joined by esteemed author and journalist Barry Siegel. A former Los Angeles Times reporter, Siegel is the author of eight books, including "A Death in White Bear Lake: The True Chronicle of an All-American Town." The acclaimed true crime book, first published in 1990, tells the heartbreaking story of Dennis Jurgens, an abused young child who died in his White Bear Lake home on Palm Sunday 1965. Dennis, not yet four years old, succumbed to peritonitis, but as the book notes, the "startling" autopsy photos of the boy "suggested murder." Fingers immediately pointed to Lois Jurgens, Dennis' adoptive mother. But it took more than 20 years, and intervention from the boy's birth mother, for justice to be served. In the interview, Siegel discusses the Jurgens case and its impact on White Bear Lake, the "All American City" at the center of the drama. https://www.amazon.com/Death-White-Bear-Lake-All-American-ebook/dp/B075FJWH6Q https://barry-siegel.com/
