Payback

In "Payback," award-winning author Natalie Y. Moore recounts the harrowing journey of Darrell Cannon, who was tortured into a false confession for murder, and the broader fight for justice led by Chicago’s Black People Against Police Torture movement. This compelling narrative sheds light on the systematic brutality inflicted by police under Commander Jon Burge, affecting over a hundred African Americans, and highlights the survivors' relentless pursuit of accountability in the face of a racist cover-up. As part of the Southside collection, this story forms a critical exploration of racism, corruption, and the struggle for reform in Chicago.
