When a reporter uncovers unpunished crimes from the Civil Rights Movement, he begins to pursue the suspects, putting himself at great risk. Jerry Mitchell, an investigative reporter at The Clarion-Ledger in Jackson, Mississippi, was a 2006 Pulitzer Prize finalist. Over the past 20 years, his stories have helped put four Klansmen behind bars. We are thrilled to announce that he is a 2009 recipient of a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant, which allows him to spend more time pursing Klansmen.
