Product: The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, 10th Anniversary Edition
Description: Seldom does a book have the impact of Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow. Since it was first published in 2010, it has been cited in judicial decisions and has been adopted in campus-wide and community-wide reads; it helped inspire the creation of the Marshall Project and the new $100 million Art for Justice Fund; it has been the winner of numerous prizes, including the prestigious NAACP Image Award; and it has spent nearly 250 weeks on the New York Times best seller list.

Most important of all, it has spawned a whole generation of criminal justice reform activists and organizations motivated by Michelle Alexander’s unforgettable argument that “we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it”. As the Birmingham News proclaimed, it is “undoubtedly the most important book published in this century about the U.S.”

Now, 10 years after it was first published, The New Press is proud to issue a 10th-anniversary edition with a new preface by Michelle Alexander that discusses the impact the book has had and the state of the criminal justice reform movement today.

Product: The Color of Law: A Novel
Description: A poor-boy college football hero turned successful partner at a prominent Dallas firm, who long ago checked his conscience at the door, catches a case that forces him to choose between his enviable lifestyle and doing the right thing in this masterful debut legal thriller.

Clark McCall, ne'er-do-well son of Texas millionaire senator and presidential hopeful Mack McCall, puts a major crimp in his father's election plans when he winds up murdered, apparently by Shawanda Jones, a heroin-addicted hooker, after a tawdry night of booze, drugs, and rough sex.

Scott Fenney, who's worked his way to being a partner at an elite Dallas law firm, is assigned to provide Shawanda's pro bono defense after the federal judge on the case hears him deliver an inspiring, altruistic, and completely insincere, speech to the local bar association. Scott plans to farm the case out to an old law school buddy, do-good-attorney Bobby Herrin. But his plans go awry when Shawanda puts her foot down in court and refuses to be passed off to the lawyer she considers the lesser attorney.

As the case unfolds, pressure is exerted on Scott to deter him from being too aggressive in his defense of Shawanda. That pressure becomes palpable as Scott is slowly stripped of the things he's come to care for most. Will he do the right thing, at a terrible cost, or the easy thing and keep his hard-earned fabulous life?

With echoes of early John Grisham, The Color of Law is a provocative listen that marked the stunning debut of a major new talent.

Product: Color Of Law
Description: Twentyscore and one year ago (401 years) racism in the world, especially in the United States of America, has been present. Starting in 1619 when 20 Africans were brought to Jamestown, Virginia. European descendants were given the privilege to own Africans as their property.
Then Africans were brainwashed to forget their identities and origins. Africans were named after their slave owners. They were lynched in public when they refused to comply to send a message to the next one who didn't cooperate. African names were substituted with plantation names. This was done knowing a man who does not have an identity will accept any identity.
In this book, Color Of Law, you will discover with surgical precision where and when racism and slavery began. And the impact these pandemics have on our societies even now in the 21st century. The author, Regis, will give you tools to eradicate this pandemic called racism. You cannot eradicate or heal a pathology if you do not know is origin or root.
Regis will dive back into the 17th, 18th, 19th and the 20th centuries to reveal the moral and physical atrocities that African Americans went through even until today in the 21st century. Since the Revolutionary War in 1775-1783 African Americans have been loyal to their country. They were not even considered humans even on July 4th 1776 after the writing of the Declaration of Independence. This was written by Thomas Jefferson, the third U. S president. They established the United States Colored Troop (USCT) and African Americans fought with desire and honor. In 1861-1865 during the Civil War African Americans were on the front lines and they defeated the Confederate Army. The Confederate Army was led by General Robert E. Lee. On January 1,1863, President Abraham Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation in recognition of the courage and bravery of African Americans who literally fought to be free. On July 1st-3rd of 1863 at Gettysburg a battle took place. General George Gordon Meade of the Union Army defeated the Confederate Army led by General Robert E. Lee. On November 19, 1863, President Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address. He gave his speech at the National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania for a dedication of the soldiers.
On April 9, 1865 at Appomattox Court House in Virginia, General Robert E. Lee surrendered his army in Northern Virginia to the Union Army led by General Ulysses S. Grant. This was the end of the Civil War. The 13th Amendment was passed by Congress on January 31, 1865 and ratified on December 6, 1865. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery in the United States and stated, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction". On April 16, 1862 President Lincoln signed the District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act. This Law prohibited slavery in the District, forcing its 900-odd slaveholders to free their slaves. The government paid owners an average of about $300 per slave which is equivalent to $8000 in 2020. African Americans have contributed to and participated in the United States democracy. When the Civil War was over, the United States was under reconstruction. President Lincoln was assassinated five days after the Civil War was over. On April 14, 1865 at Ford's Theater in Washington, D.C President Lincoln was killed by John Wilkes Booth, a white actor and ex- Confederate soldier.
Then President Andrew Johnson led the country. In 1866 six veterans of the Confederate Army established the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) in Pulaski, Tennessee. Nathan Bedford Forrest was elected the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan from 1867-1869. He was an ex-Confederate Army General. They established this association to oppress and lynch African Americans in the Southern states. The Jim Crow laws followed.
