A murder in Ashland is exceedingly rare, so any incident will draw attention.
Aidan Ellison's murder drew far more because he was a young black man shot to death by a white man, say police. Ashland prides itself on being open-minded and welcoming, but can't shake a racist past and a present with a series of racist incidents.
We take up the discussion of the response to Ellison's murder with a panel including mixed-race couple and community trainers Mike and Emily Green, Ashland mayor-elect Julie Akins, and city councilor-elect Gina Duquenne.
Mentioned in the hour: Martin Luther King, Jr's book Why We Can't Wait.
