John’s guest this week is Mick Dumke, an investigative reporter and columnist for Pro Public, a public interest news investigating company. He was a guest on a prior show, but this time they talk about the 1963 murder of a Black politician that no-one wanted to solve. It focused the attention of the country on the intersection of politics, the police and organized crime in Chicago. A parallel investigation that Dumke worked showed the ease with which a Chicago Mayor who campaigned on openness slipped into hidden government.
