Our America: The Story

Eric Morse

In October 1994, Eric Morse, a five-year old, was thrown  to his death from the 14th-floor of an apartment in the Ida B. Wells housing projects. The two boys responsible for throwing Eric were ten and eleven years old at the time. In a radio documentary and later retold in the book Our America, LeAlan Jones and Llyod Newman report on the story and share what a tragedy like this does to a community and a city.
