Jeffco LWV book club learns about “The New Jim Crow”
Michelle Alexander, an advocate and an intellect, insists that “the huge racial disparity of punishment in America is not the mere result of neutral state action.”
She sees mass incarceration as a new front in the historic struggle for racial justice. Her book, “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness,” will be the focus of two meetings of the Jeffco League of Women Voters.
The first will be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 17 at the Lakewood Public Library, 10200 W. 20th Ave., Lakewood 80215. The second meeting will be held Saturday, Jan. 20 at 9:30 a.m. at Brookdale Westland Meridian, 10695 W. 17th Avenue, Lakewood 80215. Choose one meeting or the other. All are welcome. For more information call Lynne at 303-985-5128.
