Our Black History Month bonus episode is now available on Legal Talk Network. The episode provides a closer look at the U.S.’ first reparations program in Evanston, Illinois.

Should reparations be given, and if so, who should get reparations and what form should they take? These are questions the U.S. has pondered since General Sherman made the largely unanswered call for 40 acres and mule to be allotted to emancipated slaves during the Civil War. Mayor Daniel Biss joins the podcast to discuss how Evanston is implementing the country’s first-of-its-kind reparations program, which seeks to distribute reparations to Black residents who were impacted by the city’s historical housing discrimination using revenue from cannabis taxation. Mayor Biss discusses the challenges the program has raised and how it may serve as a model for other U.S. cities looking to implement similar programs.

Listen to the episode today: https://legaltalknetwork.com/podcasts/chicago-bar/2023/02/a-closer-look-at-the-u-s-first-reparations-program-with-evanstons-mayor-daniel-biss/

Our latest episode profiles the infamous Tylenol Murders and sheds light on new evidence in the unsolved case. Trish Rich and Maggie Mendenhall Casey are joined by award-winning Chicago Tribune investigative reporters Stacy St. Clair and Christy Gutowski to discuss the case, which captivated the nation in the fall of 1982 when seven people in the Chicagoland area died after taking cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules. Law enforcement quickly determined that the poisoned bottles had been placed on store shelves to kill unsuspecting customers...but who would commit such a heinous act and what was their motive? Those questions would elude investigators for decades, making this one of the U.S.’ most notorious unsolved cases. Listen to the episode now on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, Google Play or on Legal Talk Network at the link below. Special thanks to our sponsors Embroker and Posh.
