Cara Anthony, a correspondent for KFF Health News Midwest, embarked on a reporting journey to Sikeston, Missouri, after hearing about its hidden past. This led to an exploration of the connections between a 1942 lynching and a 2020 police killing in the city, highlighting the nation’s silence on racial trauma. The multimedia project “Silence in Sikeston” includes a documentary film, educational videos, digital articles, and a limited-series podcast. The project sheds light on the toll of racialized violence on health and communities. The podcast is available on various platforms, the documentary can be streamed on WORLD’s YouTube channel, and Cara Anthony wrote an essay about her own family’s hidden history.
