1. Based on Alexander's text, the documentary, identify and discuss the connection between the mass incarceration movement and racial discrimination.
2. According to Alexander, the documentary, what major events, laws, and people (political, legal, and social) mark the merger of mass incarceration and racial discrimination? In addition, identify the data she offers to support her findings.
3. Reflect on the nature and form of contemporary discrimination - in its various forms. To what extent has discrimination (racial, sexual, etc.) taken more "hidden" forms? Instead of being overt (openly stating that certain individuals are not permitted to engage in certain activities), groups and individuals have "morphed" discrimination into more "veiled" forms of distinction - new drug laws with enhanced penalties, voter identification laws, voting restrictions for felons, etc. In other words, to what extent has modern legal/political discrimination gone "underground?" And correspondingly, what does this more hidden form of discrimination mean for the strategies and mobilization of civil rights movements in the modern era?
4. What is the next frontier for civil rights movements? Recognizing fully that each of the above-referenced movements (race, sex, sexual orientation/identity, religion, labor) have not ended), what other yet-to-be-fully-developed movements are waiting to be initiated? What other individuals or groups are likely to mobilize political, social, legal, and economic forces in an effort to secure greater civil rights protections?
