A Prescription for Liberation:
Understanding and Dismantling the “Cruel Hand” of Mass Incarceration

Join Macalester College history professor Crystal Moten in uncovering the connections between the “old” and the “new” Jim Crow and the impact of mass incarceration on individuals, families, and communities. With the hopes of developing “a prescription for liberation,” we will collectively consider Michelle Alexander’s call to action: What is needed to end mass incarceration and permanently eliminate racial caste in the United States?
