Piecing Together a Complete Picture of Sandra Bland's Life

The Leonard Lopate Show | Apr 29, 2016

Award-winning journalist Debbie Nathan talks about the first in-depth portrait of Sandra Bland's life, including details about her family, education and interests, in her cover story for The Nation, “What Happened to Sandra Bland?.” Nathan examines Sandra Bland’s life in the context of racism and police brutality, and counters the narrative that has focused on the last three days leading up to her death in jail last July.
