43:02Now PlayingIn Episode 4 of White Lies, we find an eyewitness to the attack on the Rev. James Reeb who says she has kept secret for more than 50 years who and what she saw on the night of March 9, 1965.
After decades of lies and silence, she finally comes clean. A clearer picture of what happened that night begins to come into focus.
But she also tells us something that changes everything we thought we knew about this case and the trial.
WHAT IS “WHITE LIES”?
In White Lies, co-hosts Andrew Beck Grace and Chip Brantley expose the lies that kept the murder from being solved and uncover a story about guilt, memory and justice that says as much about America today as it does about the past. In a place where lies and silence conspire against them, Brantley and Grace search Selma for living witnesses, guided by an unredacted copy of an old FBI file. They meet people who know the truth about the murder but have lied for decades — until now.
