Program Details

It's been eleven years since Judy Shepard's son Matthew was brutally murdered in Laramie, Wyoming. The story touched off a national movement focused on gay rights and prevention of hate crimes. This week on Utah NOW, Judy Shepard will join us to set the record straight about Matthew and reflect on the role she's had to play in the wake of his death.

The Matthew Shepard Foundation, which was created by Judy Shepard, can be accessed through their website:
