I learned so much. SO MUCH. Even at ten years old, this book uncovers so much about the way the American criminal justice system was built and rebuilt to control Black people. Even if you think you know, you don’t know nearly as much as this book offers. My only joy is knowing that this was written before the Black Lives Matter movement took off and defunding prisons and police became a topic of national conversation. The task is enormous, but we’re on our way.
Graphic: Racism, Slavery, Police brutality, and Confinement
Minor: Xenophobia
