Laura Kebede-Twumasi, Producer and Host: Civil Wrongs Podcast
On this episode, we're joined by Laura Kebede-Twumasi. Laura is a journalist and public historian based in Virginia. She has formerly been a staff writer at the Richmond Times-Dispatch and an education reporter at Chalkbeat.
From 2022 to 2025 she was a journalist in residence (and professor) at the University of Memphis, where she got her masters. During that time she launched Civil Wrongs, a podcast and series of articles investigating lynchings, deaths related to Civil Rights work and racially-motivated massacres. It spanned 21 episodes and was a collaborative effort with students in social justice classes she taught.
She is a 2012 graduate of the University of Missouri and lists her job as Professional Listener.
She was recommended by our recent guest, another journalist-historian, Logan Jaffe.
