The "undersold" history of America

Kendrick Johnson Case reopened with new evidence of possible confession Kendrick Johnson went to school on January 10th, 2013 ready for a basketball game later that night. He did not show for the bus and never got to play in that game. The next day, when students noticed socks sticking out of a rolled up wrestling mat, they found his bruised and bloodied body. An investigation began and eventually it was determined to be an accidental death. Officials

said that Kendrick was attempting to retrieve a pair of shoes commonly stored in the mat, slipped, and got stuck upside down, suffocating to death with nowhere to move. The family of Johnson did not believe this version of the story and think their son was intentionally murdered. Over the following 8 years, the family continued to fight to discover the truth to what happened.
