Students Organize Against Mass Incarceration

http://sami-national.org

 Some Black college students at Morgan State University discuss the causes, effects and possible solutions to the problem of mass incarceration among young Black people with their professor Jared Ball.

 Some of the students would like to establish an organization that they call (S.A.M.I.) Students Against Mass Incarceration. They would like to address some of the problems that they feel are at the root cause of of this mass imprisonment and the resultant social and economic imbalance facing African Americans in this era. They also want to see this activity spread among other HBCUs and organization inside the Black community.

 I recommend that if you have the time to listen to and share, this frank and comprehensive discussion on what could arguably be one of the most important issues concerning the African American family today.

THANKS VOXUNION

Above you see a review from a couple of years ago the site has changed.



Still dynamic and stimulating Voxunion has been evolving over the years. The information above is from
January 2008 so it's time for an update. Prof. Jared ball has not been gathering any moss. One very interesting development is his affiliation with journalist Glen Ford of Black Agenda Report. This is, in my opinion, a propitious union if there ever was one. I hope to see more from these two protagonists of African American media. ----------  Keep up the good work my brothers.

D.J.  Professor Jared Ball
