Oakland Journalist Authors Book About Murder of Colleague Chauncey Bailey
After Oakland Post editor Chauncey Bailey was gunned down in 2007 on the orders of Yusuf Bey IV, a former colleague at the Oakland Tribune, Thomas Peele, was appointed lead reporter for the Chauncey Bailey Project. This unique investigative coalition played a major part in helping bring Bey to justice for trying to stop the publication of an unflattering story about the You Black Muslim Bakery.
Tomorrow, Peele takes it a step further with the release of the book Killing the Messenger: A Story of Radical Faith, Racism’s Backlash and the Assassination of a Journalist.
