Months of April and May

"The New Jim Crow"

"The New Jim Crow" is a 2012 book written by legal scholar, Michelle Alexander. Michelle argues, "we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it." By targeting black men through the War on Drugs and destroying Black communities, the United States criminal justice system is merely functioning as a new method of racial control.

We will begin our fifth book on April 1, 2019. Hopefully everyone is now familiar with the site and GroupMe. The book is $13.56 on Amazon and contains 261 pages and 6 chapters. I've provided a weekly schedule below for everyone to ATTEMPT to follow.

The book is broken into 6 chapters. 

Week 1s and 2 (April 1-14) Chapters 1-2

Weeks 3 and 4 (April 15-28) Chapters 3-4

Weeks 5 and 6 (April 29- May 12) Chapters 5-6

Weeks 7 and 8 (May 13-31) Catch Up!
