“Rather than having ended the racial class system, we have
simply revised it by targeting black men through the war on drugs and decimated
communities of color in the United States. … I believe a movement will emerge
in the United States, and the question is will people of faith be leaders or
will they be on the sidelines waiting for others.” Michelle Alexander,
author of The New Jim Crow, speaking to the American Baptist
Churches USA national meeting on a budding movement to end mass incarceration.
