The judging panel described the series as “a gripping, beautifully written and deeply-reported investigation” that “shows readers how the emotional scars of a racist lie – and the people and systems that allowed it to fester, infect a city and destroy lives – are easily opened and slow to heal.” They praised the reporting team for “chronicling the experiences of the victims with grace and precision,” and for their “nuance and sensitivity” in spotlighting “a historical trauma that reverberated through a community for decades.” They commended the photographs and multimedia elements for “tying the past to the present” and “bringing the series to life,” and applauded The Boston Globe’s leadership for a “massive undertaking” that elucidated “internal failures, not just of the police department, but of the newspaper itself.”
