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

Commemorating Black History Month

Radical Women Meeting –

 

Despite claims of a post-racial society, a staggering number of young Black men are or have been jailed, labeled felons and relegated to second-class citizenship for life. Has today’s prison system replaced the racist institutions of slavery and of legalized segregation in perpetuating the oppression of African Americans? This is the core concept of Michelle Alexander’s bold and widely debated book. Come for a review of her arguments and share your point of view.

A Southern supper with vegetarian option will be served at 7:00pm for an $8.00 donation. Meeting will begin at 7:30pm (admission free). Childcare provided. Wheelchair accessible. Will be held at Freedom Hall, 113 W. 128th St., Harlem. Between Malcolm X Blvd. (Lenox Ave.) and 7th Ave. Subways #2 or 3 to 125th St.
