Decades later, survivors, historians, and advocates still fight to keep Wrightsville’s story alive. In this closing episode, Dr. Brian Mitchell and Judge Steve Teske join Tracey Carrington and Steve Nawojczyk to examine the lasting legacy of the fire—how segregation, neglect, and silence shaped generations. Marlon Weems reflects on how these boys’ deaths mirror modern inequities, while fire experts Jim Hawley and Keith Hulse revisit the evidence through today’s lens. Together they confront what justice looks like after decades of denial and why remembering those twenty-one boys is an act of restoration, not just remembrance.
