Special thanks to Ruth Robertson. Julian Alexander makes original illustrations for each episode of Criminal. You can see them at thisiscriminal.com. For more on the Reels family story, you can read Lizzie Presser's article. Their family bought land one generation after slavery. The Reels brothers spent eight years in jail for refusing to leave it. We'll have a link in the show notes.
