Summary

In 1997, 13-year-old Lenard Clark rode his bike into a white Chicago neighborhood, only to be jumped and beaten into a coma by a group of teens. One of them was the son of Frank Caruso, a union boss with reputed mob ties. The crime shook the Black community and shocked the city. As a young man, Yohance Lacour was puzzled why some Black community leaders rallied around Frank junior, who was trying to mend his public image before trial. Now an investigative reporter, Lacour revisits the crime and its aftermath…and reflects on how the incident affected his own life. From USG Audio and Invisible Institute comes the podcast “You Didn’t See Nothin.” Through the lens of his lived experience, Lacour probes the actions of those in power who stood behind a white assailant instead of his young Black victim. And he asks why calls for racial reconciliation are not a two-way street.
