It's amazing to look at race and gender in this trial now and see what we missed or misunderstood. I even missed some things. Thank you reading my blog and leaving a comment.

I am old enough to remember the trial - I was in my early 20s. However, not being American, I was naive about the racio-political aspects at the time. I was also young enough then to not fully appreciate the sexism at play. Anyway, I stumbled upon your blog when reading some of the articles about the show and it's great to read your insights - thank you for sharing them, given that this must bring back some painful memories for you and your family.

And the thousands...This show. <br />About that trial. <br />And the thousands of moving pieces that inside and outside the courtroom. <br />I just want to do a slow clap for the brilliant writers, actors, set designers, wardrobe, grips, hell - I'll even do a shout-out to the catering staff. I didn't think it was even possible to put so many puzzle pieces into 10 hours of TV, but damned if they aren't pulling this off - humanizing, empathizing, painting in broad strokes and narrow bands of backstory, emotion, motivation . . . .
