How America Made A Money Making System To Replace Slavery

In this powerful reasoning at Franklin & Marshall College, Dr. Ron Daniels breaks down the historical connection between slavery, criminalization, policing, and mass incarceration in America. From slave patrols and convict leasing to the War on Drugs and the prison industrial complex, Dr. Daniels explains how systems of punishment evolved after emancipation and why many communities continue to experience over-policing and disinvestment today. He also discusses the African worldview of collective responsibility, the importance of political organization, economic power, community investment, and why education must come before transformation. This lecture challenges viewers to rethink policing, incarceration, democracy, and the future of public safety in America. 🎧 Catch 'I NEVER KNEW RADIO for Roots, Rock, Reggae Music!
