Three brothers, black males, one murdered, one incarcerated—one unscathed (me). Three cousins, black males, two incarcerated—one with his liberties intact (me). Six siblings, only two completed high school—one being me. I remember, when I was 4 years old, walking to the store with my sister and being scolded for picking up a hypodermic needle someone used to inject heroin… and we lived in the better part of my neighborhood. This is the legacy of redlining, compounded by mass incarceration. If you do not know what redlining is, look it up. Purportedly, redlining ended in 1968; however, it is still the birthright of many black Americans. My early life experience is the product of this legacy.
