A journalist with over three decades in the business and editor of multiple Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative teams, Joe Sexton is no stranger to the cold call. So he wasn’t surprised when he opened his email one day in 2017 to see an email from Kansas resident and true crime fanatic Eileen Umbehr asking him to look into a mysterious double-homicide in Topeka, Kansas. She and her husband Keen Umbehr were convinced the state had tried and convicted an innocent person, she wrote. Tips flooded his inbox every day, so initially he ignored it. But Eileen persisted. She sent emails asking…
Rebellions begin with long, slow accumulations of kindling, followed by a spark. In the case of England’s Peasants’ Revolt in 1381, the firewood was a combination of a pandemic known as the Black Death, which decimated half of Europe’s population but was especially fatal for citizens living in poverty; a regent, King Richard II, whose inexperience and over-reliance on bad-actor advisors resulted in regime-wide corruption; and heavy taxation rates (that benefited the aristocracy, naturally) needed to pay for an unpopular war with a foreign country. The spark was an incident in the rural town of Brentwood, just outside of Essex,…
I t’s 3:42 in the hot heart of Texas, and the floor of the American Airlines Center in Dallas is a blood-red miasma of dancing elephants. Under the moody crimson lights washing over the crowd at the first ever Republican (Midterm) National Convention, middle-aged peroxide blondes in sparkly American flag cowboy hats sway to the raspy belt of Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero.” Men in suits and silver belt buckles and leather boots sheepishly bop the “KEEP THE MAJORITY” signs distributed by organizers. The stage is empty right now. Large, menacing images of Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and…

Editor’s note: This story is part of a special series by Princeton University journalism students reporting on the discovery of an African burial ground in Key West, Florida, and how the legacy of slavery still reverberates there and beyond. “Congratulations!” I started this complicated story in my living room back home in Pennsylvania in the fall of 2023, staring at a giant tiger head on my computer screen, letting it sink in that I had just gotten into Princeton. I had a lot of emotions running through me, chiefly disbelief. Sure, it meant that the work I had put in during high school…
Foo Fighters’ Chris Shiflett has defended Macklemore’s unrelenting support for Palestine after the rapper was criticised for calling for a “free Palestine” during a recent opening slot on Ed Sheeran’s North American tour. After making an impassioned speech calling for “all human beings to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality” while onstage in New Jersey last week, the rapper has faced calls for his removal from the tour by the Israeli-American Council, who claimed he had used his platform to “advance a one-sided political agenda”. Among the critics of his speech were Pink, who recently shared a lengthy explanation defending her…
