“There are more Black men in jail today than there were enslaved in 1850. There are almost 10 times as many Black people in prison now as there were in 1954 at the time of Brown v. Board of Education. At this rate, 1 and 3 Black males born today can expect to go to jail in their lifetime.”

A Tale Of Two Hoodies - a controversial painting by artist/activist Michael D’Antuono. 

Inspired by the Trayvon Martin case, this painting symbolizes the travesty of racially profiling innocent children and how present day prejudices affect policy.


This is POWERFUL!

“The U.S. locks up children at more than six times the rate of all other developed nations. The over 60,000 average daily juvenile lockups, a figure estimated by the Annie E. Casey Foundation (AECF), are also disproportionately young people of color. With an average cost of $80,000 per year to lock up a child, the U.S. spends more than $5 billion annually on youth detention.” - Pete Brook, Wired.com (click through for source article)
For comparison, the annual spending for k-12 education (per child) is less than $8000 (source) - it costs 10x less to educate than incarcerate.
