Gerard Croiset was a psychic from the Netherlands, renowned all across the globe for his abilities. In 1961, the abduction of a four-year-old girl left police baffled, and public opinion was growing out of control. Desperate for answers, the police requested the help of Croiset in their case. Insisting on investigating from home, Croiset requested a photo of the girl, and a map of where she had lived. Croiset claimed to be struck with flashes of an image of a dark woman peering into a window, surrounded by a grey building with five floors, a laundromat, and a dry-cleaning facility; he also told the police that she could not be saved. Police found the buildings, and the body of the girl. The murderer was not to be found, but was discovered a few days

    Michelle Alexander

    Michelle Alexander depicts the grim reality for many young African American men in today’s society in her book the New Jim Crow. The harsh reality for many of them is that they will never be able to fully participate in mainstream society and receive the benefits and basic rights that are taken for granted by the rest of the nation. Her findings show that existence of the Jim Crow laws have yet to fully disappear from society like many believe they have, when it fact, the restrictions of the Jim Crow era have merely been reinvented in the form of the United States’ federal justice system. Today, the United States prison populations are overwhelmingly comprised of people of color. Since the founding of the United States, African Americans have been “denied citizenship that was deemed essential to the foundation” (Alexander 2010: 1). The name given to this denial was Jim Crow and today even with Barack Obama, a black man, as the President of the this great nation, African Americans are still not treated as equals to whites by continually recreating Jim Crow through the federal justice system. As Michelle Alexander writes, “As a criminal, you have scarcely more rights, and arguably less respect, than a black man living in Alabama at the height of Jim Crow” (2010: 2).…
