In this episode of The Backlash, Rebecca Hargraves sits down with Mary Phagan-Keen, great-grandniece of Mary Phagan, whose 1913 murder became one of the most controversial criminal cases in American history. Together they discuss the historical record, the trial of Leo Frank, the media and political reactions that followed, and how the case shaped national debates about justice, journalism, and public trust. This conversation explores how narratives around the event evolved over the last century, the legacy it left on American law and culture, and what lessons it still holds for truth-seekers today.
