We're wrapping up Black History Month with the story of Carrie Johnson! During the 1919 race riots of Washington D.C., Carrie and her dad were holed up at home trying to stay out of trouble, but when white policemen barge into their home and their .38 rifle hits and kills one of the detectives, Carrie and her dad are carted off to jail and put on trial for first degree murder - a capital crime.
What follows is a strange series of events that is not particularly well documented, or at least the real underlying reasons aren't well known, but essentially her father turns on her in exchange for a case dismissal, so now 18 year old Carrie faces a potential death penalty sentence all by herself. What happens to Carrie? You'll have to listen to find out!
