MyNDTALK - Policing Black Bodies - Part 2 - Dr. Earl Smith
Policing Black Bodies by Drs. Hattery and Smith go beyond chronicling isolated incidents of injustice to look at the broader systems of inequality in our society—how they’re structured, how they harm Black people, and how we can work for positive change. Dr. Smith discusses the school-to-prison pipeline, mass incarceration and the prison boom, the unique ways Black women are treated, wrongful convictions and more. In a world that is far less racially and socially 'evolved' than many would like to believe - Dr. Smith offers thought-provoking commentary about where we were and where we need to go.
