I mean @BostonGlobe & @binajv , John Lewis isn't even buried yet. Publishing cutesy vauge opeds in support of racial justice don't mean anything if you don't challenge the status quo or re-examine your biases. Black people are disproportionately jailed for crimes white people
get probation and a slap on the wrist for. We know that black and brown people make up an oversized percentage of the prison population. (@PrisonPolicy). 
And despite the Commonwealth's liberal reputation (which should have been obliterated by the shambolic police reform debate in the House anyway), Mass locks up too many people.
Your own paper has reported awful conditions in state prisons, incarcerated people deserve to have a voice and a seat at the table. bostonglobe.com/2020/02/04/opi…
The most meaningful way they can make their voices heard is exercising the right to vote. Politicians will care about prison conditions if they know they have to campaign there. (@jbouie) nytimes.com/2019/04/11/opi…
This is not the time for the Globe that wrote the Spotlight Series on race to publish such a cowardly piece. Live your values. All Black Lives Matter, including black residents in jails and prisons.
