A friend of mine flagged (liked ) an post today on f.b., an post by Michelle Alexander.
I also recently read an article that she wrote for The Nation (Why Hillary Doesn't Deserve The Black Vote, February 10, 2016), so I followed up by reading posts on her f.b.page. It turns out to be that Michele Alexander is an associate professor of law at Ohio State, received her law degree from Stanford Law School, was director for the Racial Justice Project for the ACLU in Northern California, served in other roles for other Supreme court justices, as well as authoring an non-fiction book on racial injustice, titled:
The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration In The Age of Colorblindness (The New Press, 2010).
As soon as I can order an copy of her book, I plan to read what she has to say because Alexander takes an strong stand on how policy drawn during the Clinton years is strongly connected to the disenfranchisement of millions of African Americans and other people of color.
