Publisher's Summary

More than two decades after Darrell Cannon was tortured into a false confession of murder, he was finally released from prison with hardly an apology. He wasn’t the only one with a story to tell.

Award-winning author Natalie Y. Moore reveals the fight for justice and reparations engineered by Chicago’s Black People Against Police Torture movement. More than one hundred African Americans were brutalized by Chicago Police Department Commander Jon Burge’s sadistic, state-sanctioned “interrogation” ring that operated within the department for decades. The racist CPD cover-up had no chance against the appalling evidence leveled by survivors. In this landmark hearing, “sorry” wasn’t going to cut it.

Natalie Y. Moore’s Payback is part of Southside, a collection of five true stories about racism and reform, crime and corruption, justice and injustice in Chicago - from the Pulitzer Prize-winning team at The Marshall Project. Each story can be listened to in a single sitting.

Pay Back Is Not Enough

The American Justice System as well as it's counter parts have been doing injustice to People of Colour for years, and even though there are people that will not agree with the ill treatment; unfortunately for us there are more people that see nothing wrong with.

Those people include Police Officers that took an OATH to Serve and Protect, Prosecutors that an OATH to practice with professionalism, integrity and respect and finally Judges that take an OATH to administer justice, both faithfully and impartially. When these three get together to protect their "WHITE PREVILLIEGE" against the same people that there forefathers beat, raped, tortured, killed and enslaved although we expect better they will never be better because that is engrained in their minds and souls.

We can all hope and pray for a better tomorrow, but they will still keep their pensions and live life like as if they did nothing wrong.
