Currently, we are witnessing a disturbing surge in racist behaviors impacting school-age Black children.
Who are the victims in our misnamed War on Drugs? Well, it’s not the drugs themselves. They’ve never paid a penny in fines, served a second in jail or had so much as a twinge in the tummy. No, the victims of these senseless laws are us. People. Americans. Citizens. Voters!
