"The
unbelievable facts about what is happening to Black people in America through
the criminal justice system and the education system, as reveal in The
Chains of Black America, will first make you want to cry out with pain.
Then those same facts will make you angry enough to do
something!
Phillip
Jackson, The Black Star
Project
The
Chains of Black America: The Hammer of the Police, The Anvil of the
Schools is a description of how two great institutions of American
government-the education and criminal justice systems-often hinder, rather than
enable, the achievement of equal opportunities for the descendants of enslaved
Africans.
The book is about the caste status of African Americans,
rather than about "people of color," or impoverished Americans, because of the
specific history of African Americans and the way in which their oppression
affects others. It is perhaps not too much to say that until descent from
enslaved Africans is no longer a cause for lack of equality of opportunity, the
United States will never be a just society.
Each chapter, beginning with
the national survey in Chapter One, includes demographic, health, income,
wealth, and economic mobility data, followed by sections on the criminal justice
and education systems and concluding with attempts at modeling a more equitable
society.
This modeling is extended nationally in a final chapter. There
are chapters on eight cities: Chicago, Cleveland, Memphis, Milwaukee, New
Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, and Rochester, New York. Each of these has
a significant, highly segregated, African American population. In each, African
American incarceration rates are many times higher than those of White,
non-Hispanics, and educational outcomes are much less favorable for African
American than for White, non-Hispanic, students.
There are many other
cities where these conditions prevail, such as Minneapolis, Buffalo, Montgomery
and Miami, but eight examples should suffice as examples of how caste is
enforced in America.

In Davenport,
Iowa, St. Ambrose University hosts MLK mentoring day

La'Quan
Williams has figured out how to be a mentor to youth, and he's only 13. The Smart Intermediate School
eighth-grader assists Davenport Little League coaches. "I'm like a kid coach," La'Quan
said. "I run them through the drills."
He
was among students who participated in Thursday's Martin Luther King Jr. Mentor
Day at St. Ambrose University's Rogalski Center in Davenport. As other Davenport
Community School District eighth-grade boys were listening to speeches about
confidence building and giving back, La'Quan remembered when he was the new kid
in school and needed an older student to show him around.
"They
help you out with stuff," he said. "They tell you where you can and can't go."
Kendahl Owoh, director of
federal and state programs for Davenport schools, said 200 African-American and
multiracial male students participated in the first-time event, which is based
on boxing legend's Muhammad Ali's six principles of confidence, conviction,
dedication, giving, respect and spirituality.
Between speeches, students sat
with mentors from the community for group discussions. About 20 mentors
participated from places including Deere, the Rock Island Arsenal and the
Davenport Police Department.
The event was inspired by the
efforts of the Black Star Project in Chicago, which seeks to establish mentoring
relationships specifically between boys and men, Owoh said.
