Fresh Air, etc.

You really NEED to listen to this first-hand account of a 1930 Indiana lynching told by James Cameron, who was 16 at the time and was almost hanged along with his two friends. The story is amazing, and Cameron is an incredibly talented story teller. He was an author and founder of the Black Holocaust Museum in Milwakee, and he died last week at age 92. He tells one of the most powerful stories I've heard in a long time. WHYY


Also, the US national team is playing Italy on Saturday at 2.30 Eastern time, and don't forget to call your father on Sunday and tell him you love him.
