Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America by James Forman Jr.

5.0

Amazing! WhenI bought this book I thought I was buying a book about justice and racial bias. It was all that and so much more. It took me back in history to look at two times that somewhat mirrored our own (the 1st heroin epidemic in the US and the crack epidemic) and how they shaped the attitudes of people,police, government, the justice system today.
