 (The Chauncey Bailey Project)

In 2007, Oakland journalist Chauncey Bailey was gunned down on his way to work. Reporter Thomas Peele and a team of journalists with the Chauncey Bailey Project worked to uncover the truth behind his killing, and to tell the story of Oakland’s notorious Your Black Muslim Bakery, whose members were eventually convicted of the murder.

We talk with Peele about his book, “Killing the Messenger: A Story of Radical Faith, Racism’s Backlash, and the Assassination of a Journalist.”

Guests:

Thomas Peele, investigative reporter with the Bay Area News Group and author of "Killing the Messenger: A Story of Radical Faith, Racism's Backlash, and the Assassination of a Journalist"
