After the Uprising: The Death of Danyé Dion Jones

76

When 24-year-old Danyé Jones was found hanging from a tree in St. Louis County in 2018, police declared it a suicide. But his Ferguson frontline activist mother Melissa grabbed headlines with her viral post alleging her son had in fact died by lynching. Who was right? Starting only six weeks after Danyé died, journalists John Duffy and Ray Nowosielski spent two and a half years working with his mother, family members, close friends and many in the activist community to follow the trail and find out what exactly happened to him. After the Uprising is the result, an unforgettable 11-episode investigative podcast series that documents every shocking twist and turn in the investigation. The take-away: almost seven years after the Black Lives Matter movement was launched from this place, something is still terribly wrong in North County.

    A lot of heart
    So much heart, energy and patience went into making this terrific podcast. All the facts are laid bare along with the hope, frustration and heartache. The facts make it clear that justice has not been done. One day, my faith tells me, the truth will be told. And justice will follow. Sending love to this family and respect to these courageous journalists.

    The chief medical investigator for St Louis is a fraud, she’s involved with that bad faith fear-mongering of the 90’s—>shaken baby syndrome

    Finally
    You hear about these stories as headlines and are left wondering what, if any, investigation uncovers. I’m so happy to see someone finally diving-in to shed some much wanted light on whatever has or hasn’t been done to look into these highly suspicious deaths. I hope we learn something about Danyé and can find any peace at all for his loved ones.
