Trymaine D. Lee is an award-winning journalist who has focused on racial justice and the Black American experience for most of his career. He shared a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, and then moved on to report for the New York Times and the Huffington Post, always with a strong emphasis on powerful stories impacting the Black community. In 2012, he was one of the first reporters to cover the killing of Trayvon Martin and bring it to a national audience, for which he won a Sidney Hillman Foundation Award. He then joined MSNBC as a national reporter, where he covered the shooting of Michael Brown and its aftermath in Ferguson, Missouri; communities affected by poverty across the country including Flint, Michigan; and much, much more. He now also hosts the podcast “Into America,” which is a show about the Black American experience, and explores, as he says, “what it means to hold truth to power and this country to its promises.” We are so excited for you to hear this conversation with Trymaine!
