Thousands of Black men, women, and children are missing and murdered each year. While Black people make up 13% of the U.S. population, we also account for 40% of all missing persons and 55% of all homicides, yet, those stories are often overlooked and underrepresented in the national media. No Country For Melanin: A True Crime Podcast aims to spotlight those stories and bring awareness to the unconscious bias that has led to the disproportionate reporting of people of color.
