MLK Day Question: Does Jim Crow Still Exist?
I was listening to legal scholar Michelle Alexander on Fresh Air to day and thinking about Martin Luther King, about my friend Julio Medina and his experience in Sing Sing, and about all that we have talked about here on GMP with regard to race.
I thought about my friend Steve Locke’s post about why he doesn’t want to talk about race anymore.
I thought about my own response to charges of racism.
I thought about my dad in 1964.
And I wondered how far we have really come?
