THE NEW JIM CROW

Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness

June 3rd  Adult Study

Right now, one in 100 Americans are behind bars.  Nearly 1/3 of black men will spend time in prison in their lifetime. It is statistics like these that have led law professor and civil rights advocate Michelle Alexander, author of “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness” to a bold conclusion: that the so-called “War on Drugs” is comparable to slavery and Jim Crow laws in its effect on the black community.

Epworth Church will discuss this book during a special Adult Study program, June 3rd. Discounted copies will soon be available at coffee hour or through the church office.
