American democracy examined at racial healing conference

Ian Haney-López quoted in Native News Network, April 30, 2012

Haney Lopez detailed how racism has evolved from the challenge of segregation in the 1950s and 1960s to now “mass incarceration,” which has a disproportionate impact on young African American and Latino males, and “mass deportation” of undocumented persons, which has led to thousands of parents having to leave their children behind in the care of the child welfare system.
