| Summary |
This program investigates the events the night Levi Hart, a 14-year-old African American youth from Roxbury, Mass., was killed in a police chase. (Hart, and two other Roxbury youths had stolen and car. When the officers caught up to them, Hart was shot, arguably by Richard Bourque in an act of police brutality.) Say Brother, in a documentary-style program, interviews Andrea Swores (a teacher of Hart's), Jean Hart (Levi Hart's mother), Judge Richard L. Banks (who presided over the inquest), Dr. Luke G. Tedeschi (who performed the second autopsy on Hart's body), Henry F. Owens, III (the Hart family lawyer), and attorney Frank J. McGee (who represented police officer Richard Bourque in the lawsuit that followed). Program features the additional commentary of state representative Doris Bunte and Saundra Graham, the comments of the Chairman of the National Black United Front Rev. Herbert Daughtry, and dramatic reenactments of the morning Hart was killed and of three testimonials from the legal transcript of the initial inquest investigating the shooting (those of eyewitness Harcourt Lewis, Roxbury youth Darrius Williams, and Boston police officer Richard Bourque) |
