WKYC has created a companion podcast for our investigative report on the bloodiest night in Cleveland’s history.An urban guerrilla assault by black militants the night of July 23rd 1968 shocked police.In the span of 2 hours, 3 officers were killed, 15 more shot and wounded. At least 3 militants died that night, with an untold number injured.The full story of what happened that night has never been told because all sides involved had reasons to bury it.Over the next several weeks WKYC will roll out a 6 part podcast to provide even more depth into what led to the ambush and why 50 years later many of the same issues confront our nation today: Racial tension. Police oppression. Gun control.In Episode 1, available now, hear how Martin Luther King’s visits to Cleveland nearly every other week in 1967 played a role, and why Malcolm X’s most famous speech lit the fuse when it was delivered here for the very first time .
