This week on Melanin Mayhem, we're diving into one of the most haunting cases in American history—the Atlanta Child Murders. But we're not just retelling the headlines. We’re examining the trial, the evidence (or lack thereof), and the calculated way authorities built a case around Wayne Williams—without ever charging him for the murders of the dozens of Black children who vanished between 1979 and 1981. Was justice really served, or was Williams made to fit a crime that demanded closure at any cost? Join me as we unpack how fear, politics, and public pressure may have led to a conviction that left far too many questions unanswered.
