Darryl Hunt Remembered
On Sunday night, friends and supporters of Darryl Hunt gathered at Emmanuel Baptist Church to collectively grieve and honor Hunt’s life and legacy. Hunt’s body was found early Sunday morning, at the shopping center across from the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The cause of death has not been publicly disclosed.
It was sad to be at Emmanuel Baptist, where Hunt’s supporters had gathered in the past to celebrate Hunt’s freedom, to morn his death. Speaker after speaker mentioned how much Darryl Hunt had touched their lives. The people who had helped Darryl the most, like his attorney Mark Rabil remembered how much he had helped them. Hunt was never bitter. His kind spirit in the face of almost 20 years of false imprisonment motivated others around him to become better people.
It’s hard to image walking a mile in Darryl Hunt’s shoes. People like to focus on the $1.65 million of compensation that he received from the city. Some people thought that Hunt was lucky to be financially set for life. Darryl Hunt was anything but lucky. In East Winston Hunt was viewed by some as a lottery winner.
In recent years Hunt had been frequenting Atlanta, a city where everyone didn’t know his name, a place where he wouldn’t be hounded. A couple years ago after a screening of The Trials of Darryl Hunt, Larry Little told the audience that Hunt had moved to Atlanta. Hunt had been staying with him. But when word got out that Darryl was there, folks were knocking night and day, asking to borrow money.
Nearly 20 years of incarceration is bound to leave scars, the kind that never fully heal. Hunt had a difficult upbringing. Hunt never knew his father, and his mother, Doris, was murdered when he was 10 years old, two weeks after he found out she was his mother (Richard Craver, from today’s W-S Journal). Combine a difficult childhood and nearly twenty years of incarceration and you have a receipt for depression. With Hunt’s marriage dissolved and battling cancer it looks like Darryl Hunt lost all hope.
But we don’t need to wait for the autopsy results, we know what killed Darryl Hunt. As his longtime attorney and friend Mark Rabil said, “Nineteen years of wrongful incarceration is what killed Darryl Hunt.” We shouldn’t mix words. There was no physical evidence tying Hunt to the rape and murder of Deborah Sykes. The WSPD and Forsyth County District Attorneys Office pinned the crime on Hunt while they ignored substantial evidence that lead to Willard Brown.
That’s what had to hurt Hunt, having two juries convict him of a crime that he didn’t commit. Having judge after judge refuse his appeals. Serving nine additional years in jail after DNA evidence proved his innocence. That’s injustice Winston-Salem style.
On the day that Hunt was finally freed from jail he announced that Kalvin Michael Smith was falsely imprisoned by the same people who put him behind bars; the WSPD and FCDA. Hunt never turned his back on the wrongly convicted. Just a few weeks ago Hunt was spoke at a rally on behalf of Kalvin Michael Smith. I think about the pain and powerlessness that Hunt must of felt at not being able to help get Kalvin his freedom,
Darryl Hunt’s legacy is justice. The men and women responsible for putting Hunt behind bars for nearly 20 years are some of the same people who put Kalvin Michael Smith behind bars, although neither of them ever had any credible evidence presented against them. The men and women who put Hunt and Smith behind bars have a very different legacy. These are the men who will be remembered unkindly by history, not Hunt.
Sad news indeed.
Friends and family of Darryl Hunt gathered Sunday night at Emmanual Baptist to remember Darryl Hunt’s life and legacy. Hunt was a champion for justice. He served over 19 years in jail for a crime that he didn’t commit, nine of those years (1994-2003) after DNA evidence had proven his innocence. When he got out of jail Hunt’s mission was to help others who were wrongfully imprisoned, such as Kalvin Michael Smith. Hunt was a kind man, with a gentle smile. Winston won’t be the same without him. Now in death, Darryl Hunt is free.
Melissa Harris-Perry & MSNBC
It’s been interesting to see MSNBC and public academic, Melissa Harris-Perry part ways. It appears that MSNBC was intent on quietly pushing Harris-Perry off the air. But Harris-Perry saw the writing on the wall. After being preempted 2-3 weeks in a row she decided that she had had enough. A week ago Melissa Harris-Perry walked off her show in protest of the treatment that she was receiving. In recent days MHP has taken to social media to decry the treatment that she received.
I understand Harris-Perry having pride in her show and being upset that it is now off the air. But MSNBC is a corporate, phony-liberal cable news channel. It's been plagued by low ratings for years. It is too middle of the road. Fox News, as crazy as that channel is, at least they have a narrative that can attract viewers. Old white people love blaming the government and immigrants for everything. MSNBC isn't a liberal counter-weight to Fox News. MSNBC is bland and boring.
As long as Harris-Perry was at MSNBC there were going to be limits to what she could say and the guests that she could interview. The pundit class is disproportionately white and male. With Harris-Perry's show off MSNBC, the pundit class just got a little less diverse. But after she condemns MSNBC I hope that Harris-Perry looks into hosting a new on-line show.
I'd love to see Melissa Harris-Perry partner with Democracy Now or the Real News Network. She could could host a weekend addition of Democracy Now. Democracy Now is a little too liberal for my tastes. They have the same guests from the Nation on, over and over again. But Democracy Now is a hell of a lot better than anything that you'll find on MSNBC.
Twenty years ago 24 hour news networks were thought to be innovative. Now, it should be obvious to all just how stale and formulaic they are. Real journalism today is being produced and distributed on the web. Harris-Perry needs to join the internet journalism revolution. She doesn't have to fly to New York City every weekend to film her show. She can produce a new show from Wake Forest or on the road, wherever the story takes her.
Everyone hates losing a job, and being treated by the brass, like you don't matter. But MSNBC has done Melissa Harris-Perry a favor. She could reinvent herself online. She could interview fellow academics and community activists-two groups the corporate media largely ignores. Being pushed off the air is the best thing that MSNBC ever did for Melissa Harris-Perry. She needs to capitalize on her opportunity and cut the corporate media cord once and for all. It's time for her to put her show on the web.
