In 1970, a police officer was killed in an explosion in North Omaha. Within days, two Black activists-Ed Poindexter and David Rice (Mondo we Langa)-were charged, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison. But the truth behind their case was anything but clear.Echoes of a Bomb is a gripping work of narrative nonfiction that uncovers one of the most devastating miscarriages of justice in American history. Blending investigative journalism, historical records, FBI documents, court transcripts, and firsthand accounts, RIXX exposes how COINTELPRO-the FBI’s covert war against Black liberation movements-collided with Omaha’s local politics to destroy two lives and silence a movement.This powerful book traces the systematic targeting of Black organizers, the suppression of key evidence, and the manipulation of a frightened teenager into delivering a confession that changed the course of history. It also explores the ripple effects-on a city, on a community, and on generations who were told to forget.For readers of The New Jim Crow, Just Mercy, and Say Nothing, this is not just a true crime story-it’s a call to remember, to reckon, and to rewrite the narrative.
