Today we take a hard look at the death of Trey Reed, a 21-year-old Black student found hanging from a tree on the campus of Delta State University in Mississippi. While authorities quickly called it “no foul play,” the history of lynching, racism, and systemic injustice in Mississippi makes that conclusion impossible to accept without question.

This episode explores the legacy of racial violence in the South, the long history of Black men found hanging and dismissed as suicide, and the ways corrupt police systems and complicit media keep these stories out of the headlines. Joshua breaks down why the lack of transparency, the silence from officials, and the limited news coverage are not accidents—they are part of a broader pattern of erasure in America’s fight against equality.

From slavery to Jim Crow to modern-day policing, Mississippi’s history is not in the past—it’s alive in the present. Hot Air refuses to stay quiet while institutions rewrite the narrative.
