This is the story of a man who's fascinated me.

His name was Sweet Daddy Grace, and that's a name you don't forget.

He was a visionary who built a fortune as a black man during Jim Crow, during the Depression.

But today, not many people know about him.

He raised, sort of wiped out, and I wonder if this was done intentionally.

From I Heart Podcasts, these are the whistleblowers.

I wasn't just gonna sit silently by.

Somebody needs to just give everybody the whole truth.

You take your question in black sales and get it on up out of my facility.

If you speak out, you won't pay.

He should be prosecuted.

When power corrupts, conscience is the last line of defense.
