This week I am chatting with my friend Marika about "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander. (https://bookshop.org/a/7227/9781620971932)

Page Love is a weekly podcast conversation about books enjoyed between friends. This week’s book highlights the complicated and broken system of criminal justice in the US. It outlines how we’ve arrived at our current caste-like system for Black Americans and outlines the beginning of a positive path forward for change and true equity and equality.
