Not all tragic events are memorialized the same: No memorial for UHC CEO Brian Thompson

Not all tragic events are memorialized the same: No memorial for UHC CEO Brian Thompson

A man was shot and killed on a New York City street. This would often garner attention in the form of a memorial with flowers and candles, but not in case of the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson...walk by the spot where he was shot and you would never know anything happened there. UConn Professor of Geography Ken Foote has studied how tragic events are memorialized for many years and lends great insight in this conversation with Michael. Original air date 16 December 2024.
