Decolonize Justice

This documentary was short but impactful. While it should be pretty obvious that racism is something that continues to persist in this country, this documentary highlights how police, prosecutors and courts have historically targeted people of color for incarceration in our country. Something I learned was that Latinos are becoming the fastest growing minority in the U.S. prison system. Documentaries like this and the recent killings of notable figures like Breonna Taylor and George Floyd speak volumes on how the criminal justice system in America not only needs to be reformed but that it needs to be dismantled and rebuilt from the bottom-up. Otherwise we will likely never live in a society without discrimination.
