Shows featuring Dr. Rubin "Hurricane" Carter

Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Hi there,

Dr. Rubin "Hurricane" Carter

Executive director of the “International Association in Defense of the Wrongly Convicted”. In the 60s Carter was a dynamic prizefighter. His promising boxing career was cut short when, just before he was set to fight for the world heavyweight title, he was wrongfully convicted of killing three people and sentenced to three consecutive life sentences. He spent almost two decades in prison before finally being exonerated.
