Dynamic speech.  Most quotable takeaway for me was: How can we have civil rights if we don't even have human rights?  She put it more eloquently though.

I think minor offenses like having a bag of weed on you shouldn't ruin somebody's life forever but sadly this is the case for many young African Americans.

Also, very sad to realize the deeply rooted economic interests in perpetuating this massive underclass of incarcerated and virtually enslaved people in America.  It's something that needs to be talked about more and on more widely publicized platforms.  We really need an education President and a social justice President instead of a war president or someone who just wants to focus on the economy and "creating jobs".  Well, by continuing on our path with the massive incarceration, correction officers will have some decent jobs with pensions and benefits but I think we can all agree that we want a populace of a more nuanced variety shall we say than corrections officers and impoverished incarcerated folk who will probably never be able to break out of the system.
