The Second Emancipation by Howard W. French
A mixture of history, reporting, and moral argument that traces how the promise of emancipation was undermined across Reconstruction, Jim Crow and the late-20th-century rise of mass incarceration, showing how laws and institutions have functionally re-enslaved millions and stripped basic rights from Black Americans; it calls for a renewed, national movement — a “second emancipation” — to restore voting and civil rights, reform criminal-justice systems, repair economic and civic harms, and remake public institutions to secure genuine equality.
