Brava, Michell Alexander, and thank you Sam Lee TV. This is one of the most complex social healing imperatives of our time. We need these facts, and this call to truth-telling, to empower real change-making NOW.

Wow. Look at the number of votes would be added to the polls if prisoners were allowed to vote. Powerful stuff.

Dear Sam Lee TV,
This particular "Encounters In Black Traditions" piece is so powerful and validated by researched legal information that I was overwhelmed by it's content! Michelle Alexander has done for Black Folk and Others in this The New Jim Crow book what Malcolm X's biography did for the World a few decades ago! I salute Michelle Alexander and I encourage All of Us to organize to "Destroy The New Jim Crow" business and politics of Mass Incarceration against Poor Black People! Work, Yes.
