Top 10 Reasons the War on Drugs is the New Jim Crow

10. Like Jim Crow, the War on Drugs will come to an end

The road is long and the battles are numerous; many will sacrifice along the way. But there will come a day in this country when the War on Drugs will cease to be, just like Jim Crow ceased to be. Hopefully this time, it won’t be replaced by an oppression of another name.

For more detailed information on the ways in which the War on Drugs is the new Jim Crow, I highly suggest the book “The New Jim Crow” by civil rights attorney Michelle Alexander.
