across the country, attempting to compare it to the actual Jim Crow era while pointing out the differences. The parallels between the systems of control seem obvious while there are significant differences that Alexander highlights and tries to shrink, such as the assumption that Jim crow was race-based, when in fact laws were race-neutral but were set up in a way to make it seem otherwise.

In two seasons as the coach of the Lions, Caldwell has a regular season record of 18-14 and a postseason record of 0-1. It’s not the best record, but by no means does it quantify a head coaching change. He led the Lions back from a 1-7 start to a 7-9 finish. That has to count for something right? Of course it does!…

With each laws put in place to disrupt the chance of progress, African Americans slowly started to lose their identities.

of work, reinforcing negative stereotypes, and perpetuating the white-black class divide. Michelle Alexander’s book, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, introduced the preceding quote when arguing that mass incarceration is just another form of racial oppression, the modern versions of chattel slavery and the original Jim Crow.
