Boston Magazine, October 2020.

Fifty years ago, rising Boston soul sensation Franklin Lynch was shot dead by police at Boston City Hospital. The killing of an unarmed man, and its cover-up, inspired Boston’s Black community to invent a new form of civic justice. Why doesn’t anyone remember?

“Epic! A worthy companion to Common Ground.”

— Peter Guralnick, author of Last Train to Memphis and Feel Like Going Home
