In his October 2015 cover story, "The Black Family in the Age of Mass Incarceration,” Ta-Nehisi Coates explores the devastating impact decades of mass incarceration has had on African-American families.

A breakthrough event pegged to this landmark piece will provide a definitive exploration and razor-edged analysis of the complicated history of the nation’s justice system and the future of prison reform.

1. THANK YOU

so much for this information. I did not get to see the entire broadcast, as a matter of fact, I didn't start to watch it until the last half hour or so. I sure hope they plan to air this again in the future, what I did see was very, very interesting. I will be checking your post just in case you find out if this will be aired again, please let me know. Also too, please let us know if you come by other interesting material like this.
