Michelle Alexander Probes the Politics and Policies of the 'New Jim Crow'

Thursday, November 29, 2012

Ohio State University Law Professor Michelle Alexander's new book, "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness," had made waves with its stark look at the prison reform movement and modern racial justice in the U.S. legal system. She talks with Craig about her book and the problem with prisons in 21st century America.

Alexander will speak at the eighth annual Peace and Justice Banquet this Sunday at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center.
