Racial Disparity in the Criminal Justice Court System

I attended the Athenaeum talk "Racial Disparity in the Criminal Justice Court System" given by
Phyllis Morris-Green.  She is public defender for San Bernardino County, and she has dedicated her life to protecting those treated unfairly in the court system. She discussed the blatant inequality in the justice system that causes minorities to be incarcerated disproportionately compared to non-minorities. She showed a powerful video called "Racial Facial" that I recommend every look at. It gives an overview of America's racist past and present injustices that minorities have dealt with.  Her talk was extremely passionate and moving; it highlighted that as a country we must continue to work together to ensure equal treatment for all. I would definitely recommend this talk.
