Kansas City got a real problem in the summer of ‘77… and his last name was Gilyard.

What happens when violence doesn’t just run in a family — it thrives there? In this episode, we’re digging into the twisted, messy, and downright chilling story of the Gilyard family.

Lorenzo Gilyard — the mild-mannered dad-next-door — spent over a decade terrorizing Kansas City as The Kansas City Strangler. But baby, Lorenzo didn’t come outta nowhere. His father? Violent predator. His sister? Caught up in crimes of her own. Turns out, generational trauma in this family looked a whole lot like generational terror.

This is a story about predators hiding in plain sight — mowing the lawn, kissing their kids goodnight, sitting next to you in church — all while leaving a trail of devastation in their wake.

Buckle up, because we’re talking family secrets, serial murder, and the nightmare that was the Gilyard family.

We also examine the role of Sandra’s own voice, captured in her Sandy Speaks videos, where she passionately spoke out against racism and police brutality. Her story is a stark reminder of the work still to be done in the fight for racial equality and the importance of amplifying marginalized voices.

The truth is out there. Are you ready to uncover it? Let’s get to work.

What do you get when you mix a 21-year-old revolutionary, a breakfast-loving Black Panther, and a government that’s way too scared of both? The explosive story of Fred Hampton—a man whose charisma and vision made him a hero to the people and public enemy number one to the FBI.

In this episode of The Black Docket, we’re diving into the life and untimely death of Fred Hampton, the chairman of the Illinois Black Panther Party who was building a Rainbow Coalition faster than the feds could tear it down. But on December 4, 1969, the FBI and Chicago PD decided to crash the party—literally—in a raid that left Hampton dead, his apartment riddled with bullets, and a whole lot of questions unanswered.

We’ll break down the shady tactics of COINTELPRO, the courtroom drama that followed, and why Fred Hampton’s legacy still has the government sweating bullets (pun intended). Spoiler alert: it’s equal parts inspiring, infuriating, and a masterclass in how to organize like your life depends on it—because, well, it did.

So grab your coffee (or your free breakfast, Panther-style) and tune in for a story that’s equal parts history lesson, true crime thriller, and call to action. Because if there’s one thing Fred Hampton taught us, it’s that the people *can* win—but only if we keep fighting.

In this powerful episode, we dive into the heartbreaking and infuriating story of Rekia Boyd, a 22-year-old Black woman whose life was tragically cut short in 2012 by an off-duty Chicago police officer. What unfolded that night sparked outrage, protests, and a relentless fight for justice that continues to resonate today.

Join us as we explore the details of the case, the systemic issues it exposed, and the community’s unwavering demand for accountability. We’ll hear from activists, legal experts, and those who knew Rekia, painting a vivid picture of her life, the injustice she faced, and the ongoing struggle to ensure her story is never forgotten.

This is more than just a case—it’s a call to action, a reminder of the work still to be done, and a testament to the power of collective voices in the fight for justice. Tune in, get informed, and be part of the conversation.

In this deeply moving and historically significant episode, we revisit the tragic story of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African American boy whose brutal murder in 1955 became a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement. Emmett’s life was cut short during a visit to Mississippi when he was accused of whistling at a white woman—a claim that led to his abduction, torture, and murder at the hands of two white men.

We explore the harrowing details of Emmett’s story, the courage of his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, who insisted on an open-casket funeral to show the world the brutality of racism, and the shocking acquittal of his killers by an all-white jury. Emmett’s death and the subsequent trial exposed the deep-seated racism and injustice in America, galvanizing a generation to fight for civil rights.

In this powerful and heart-wrenching episode, we delve into the life and legacy of Kalief Browder, a young man whose story exposed the deep flaws in the American criminal justice system. At just 16 years old, Kalief was arrested in New York City for allegedly stealing a backpack—a crime he always maintained he did not commit. What followed was a nightmare: three years on Rikers Island, two of which were spent in solitary confinement, all while awaiting a trial that never came.

We explore the systemic failures that kept Kalief trapped in a cycle of injustice, the psychological toll of solitary confinement, and the courage it took for him to speak out after his release. Despite becoming a symbol of reform, Kalief's struggle with the trauma of his incarceration ultimately led to his tragic death by suicide at the age of 22.

Join us as we honor Kalief Browder’s memory and ask the hard questions about accountability, justice, and the work that still needs to be done.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide, mental health struggles, and the harsh realities of incarceration. Listener discretion is advised.
