Somerville writer looks for answers in abandoned civil rights cases | Somerville | Your Town | Boston.com
Since he began investigating abandoned civil rights cases in 2004, Ben Greenberg of Somerville has assumed the role of detective, journalist, photographer, and technologist in an effort to expose perpetrators of southern racial violence in cases long dismissed by law enforcement.
For the past two years, he has collaborated with a team of reporters on the Civil Rights Cold Case Project, traveling south to interview surviving witnesses and searching for evidence from before he was born.
Greenberg tells the Globe how his fascination with civil rights cold cases began, and how modern technology could help him solve them.
I think this thing actually came out pretty well.
