Litigator-turned-legal-scholar Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow, argues that we have not ended racial caste in America, we have simply redesigned it: The US criminal justice system functions as a contemporary means of racial control, even as it formally adheres to the principle of color blindness. Her provocative new book challenges the civil rights community?and all of us?to place mass incarceration at the forefront of a new movement for racial justice in America. As the United States celebrates the nation's triumph over race with the election of Barack Obama, the majority of young black men in major American cities are locked behind bars or have been labeled felons for life.

www.UncountedTheMovie.com On Election Day 2004, the most vulnerable Americans were the targets of massive and systematic voter disenfranchisement - long lines and other artificial barriers were manufactured to make it as difficult as possible for American citizens of certain targeted demographics to exercise their legal right to vote. Why should anyone have to stay in line for 12 hours to vote? And with our busy lives and overwhelming responsibilities, is it even possibly to do so? Or is that the idea? Clip from UNCOUNTED The New Math of American Elections, a documentary by Emmy award-winning director David Earnhardt.

Legal scholar Michelle Alexander argues persuasively we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it. Jim Crow and legal racial segregation has been replaced by mass incarceration as a system of social control. ---More African Americans are under correctional control today than were enslaved in 1850--- Alexander reviews American racist history from the colonies to the Clinton administration, delineating its deliberate transformation into the war on drugs. She provides analysis of the effect of this mass incarceration upon former inmates who will be discriminated against, legally, for the rest of their lives, denied employment, housing, education, and public benefits. Most provocatively, she reveals how both the move toward colorblindness and affirmative action may blur our vision of injustice. She spoke at Riverside Church in Manhattan May 21, 2011.
