Who's watching in 2020 with me
-
She never looked at her notes once. This is a woman who speaks from a beautiful heart, and a brilliant mind.
-
I was here 4 years ago and i am here again! You opened our eyes, never stop ma'am! Never!!
-
2022 and still going. This gem will last as long as YouTube lasts to enlighten the people
-
This was probably one of the most emotional, awakening speeches I've heard. The fact that it dates back to 2013 and yet is so relatable is baffling. Our world, not just the U.S., needs an awakening. From all of us.
-
She's a great speaker, but her book, is really where all the in-depth detail is. If anyone is still questioning the reality of this issue, pick up this book, and look at the enormous amount of sources that is sighted. I'm a white, middle class, woman and I would have never considered any of this had I not picked up her book. Definitely inspires change.

Excellent data. After 22 years in Federal and State prison. I became a Algebra 1 Certified Teacher for Baltimore City Public School Systems at Fredrick Douglass High School across from Mondawmin Mall...Thank you for your candor and clarity...
-
I truly believe that this message needs to get out, like world wide. This is maybe a long shot, but how many of us would love to see her book in the form of a TV series where each chapter would come to life with true experiences and examples. Some of us learn and retain more by visualizing what is being taught.
-
She brought tears to my eyes! The discrimination doesn't end with the criminal system, it also happens with the resume. They weed us out by name, regardless of our skills or job history. It's sickening how although blacks built this country we are at the mercy of a system that was never built for us!
-
she admits complicity in the system, while she could have chosen to look away, climb the financial ladder like most of us. and most of her colleagues would support that decision. that's courage plain and simple.
-
this is really inspirational. my name is jeffrey francis and I am a convicted felon and the same thing happened to me. the da scared me into take a plea so I wouldn't go to prison I was 18 and terrified of the stories I heard of prison, Im 30 now and after doing 5 years in prison Im getting my life together. I went to prison becuse of course i commited a crime but my job let me go when they found i i was a felon and that destroyed me

This is a lecture that deserves much more attention.... There is a tremendous dignity in Michelle Alexander's analysis and understanding of the racial present and collective futures facing the United States.

I used to work as a nurse in a jail in the midwest. Most depressing job ive ever had.
-
7 years ago, and nothing has changed. :(
-
Eloquent, intelligent, thought-provoking, and profound from beginning to end. It’s obvious she did her homework, and she’s also speaking from experience. She is to be celebrated. I’m sure the “powers-that-be” are already trying to come up with ways to silence her, because the truth of what she’s saying can crumble their long-running and despicable agenda.
-
28:15 "My great crime wasn't in refusing to represent an innocent man. My great crime was in imagining that there was some path to racial justice that did not include those we view as guilty..." - Powerful...
-
You notice how she hardly is never looking at her notes? She's speaking this evil truth in such a beautiful way from the heart....
-
I was taking American History at a predominantly white college when I read her book. Her book is a crash course on post Civil War American history. Buy it!
-
After i got convicted and did my time i came home to a life sentence of discrimination against criminal background! But i was blessed to succeed regardless but i can see why many give up!
-
This made me cry but it also gave new meaning to what my soul has suffered emotionally. It hurts to hear but I’m better for having the knowledge of some reasons why.
