I dig into this civil rights cold case in “A Death Ruled ‘Justifiable’: The Killing of #JohnWesleyWilder,” my contribution to “Still Paying the Price: #Reparations in Real Terms,” a new #podcast series from #LWCStudios. I reported, produced and wrote the episode, which was made in partnership with the nonprofit newsroom #TypeInvestigations and with support from the #FundForInvestigativeJournalism. https://benlog.net/2023/07/24/podcast-a-death-ruled-justifiable-the-killing-of-john-wesley-wilder 7/7

I reviewed those accounts and also found Bill Smith, a new witness who, like earlier ones, says Wilder did not attack Nugent. Smith wants #accountability for Wilder’s death. "The system is only as good as we make the system," he said. 5/

After three years, the Wilder case was closed again with no further action. The #FBI could have done more. It’s unclear if the bureau spoke to Black community members or read the eyewitness affidavits gathered in 1965 by Wilder’s brother with help from the #NAACP. 4/

In 2008, the #FBI reopened the case and dozens of others under the #EmmettTill Unsolved #CivilRights Crime Act, which directed the #DepartmentOfJustice and the FBI to investigate unpunished racially motivated #homicides from before 1970. (Read the text of the act: https://www.congress.gov/110/plaws/publ344/PLAW-110publ344.pdf) 3/

The #police said Wilder had attacked Nugent and the death was ruled a “#JustifiableHomicide in self-defense." But many in the community, including eyewitnesses at the time, said the killing was unprovoked and #RaciallyMotivated. 2/

#LouisArmstrong always said today is his birthday. Music historian Tad Jones found the baptismal certificate proving the date was actually August 4, 1901. But I still take #July4th as the day to celebrate Louis.

I didn't donate blood in #NYC but I did give a talk on Tuesday at the #NewmarkJSchool’s #UncoveringJusticeStories workshop--on the #PoliceKillings of Army Cpl #RomanDucksworth, Jr. in #Talorsville, #Mississippi in 1962 and #JohnWesleyWilder in #Ruston, #Louisiana in 1965.

New reporting on the Wilder case coming soon. Links to my reporting on Ducksworth at NPR and Frontline here: https://linktr.ee/bengreenberg
