The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness

May 29, 2017

it was amazing

Required reading to be alive in 2017, to participate in a democracy as an informed citizen. It is a well written book, educating me as to what has happened and why for recent and not so recent history. It is not comfortable, but it is critical to read and understand.
