WABE’s ‘Bottom Of The Map’ Podcast Examines The Atlanta Child Murders And Hip-Hop Music

In 1979 a slew of murders of African-American children were committed in Atlanta. Over two years, at least 29 children were kidnapped and murdered.

Forty years later, “The Atlanta child murders” still reverberate in TV mini-series, podcasts, and music. WABE’s new “Bottom of the Map” podcast addresses how both the murders and hip-hop music are intertwined in the latest episodes.

“A majority of those cases remain unsolved, and I think that’s what a majority of the Atlanta community still reckons with,” said “Bottom of the Map” co-host Christina Lee about the newfound intrigue in these cases.
