DID YOU KNOW?

In some states, Black men are incarcerated on drug charges at rates 20-50

times greater than those of white men. Yet, studies show that people of all

colors use and sell illegal drugs at remarkably similar rates.

Crimes committed by those of other races or those of other socio-economic

groups are often un-reported or under-reported.

In major cities wracked by the war on drugs, up to 80% of young African

American men now have criminal records and are thus subject to legalized

discrimination for the rest of their lives.

If current trends continue, one in three young African American men will servetime in prison.

The United States imprisons a larger percentage of its Black population than

South African did at the heart of apartheid.
