Summary

Original Air Date: August 21, 2019 Mayor Keisha recently announced that she is not running for re-election so now’s a good time to look back at a great conversation with an extremely inspiring elected official who’s made big changes to criminal justice systems in Atlanta and re-opened the investigation into the infamous Atlanta Child Murders of 1979-1981. She also talks candidly about being a kid and watching her father be arrested and imprisoned for selling drugs and how that changed her family and her approach to criminal justice and to life.
