When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave the "I Have a Dream" 50 years ago, he had no idea Jim Crow would be replaced with another oppressive system: mass incarceration and the drug war - The New Jim Crow. Systematic racism continues.
It's our turn to dream. Nixon started the drug war just 8 years after King's "I have a Dream" speech which allows systematic racism to take hold even more so. Both Reagan and Clinton continued it. In 2013 a study found that more black men were incarcerated then were enslaved in the 1850. It's our turn to dream how to end mass incarceration and fight back against systematic racism. If you have a felony on your record, it's harder to get a job and you also cannot get many forms of public assistance. In Dothan, Alabama, T.O.P.S. is offering support for people just getting out of jail-everything from clothes to GED. This is one way to end mass incarceration. As Alexander's The New Jim Crow does, it's important to see the links between civil rights, voting rights, and the drug war.
