I think he leans too much into wanting to defend the honor of the #FirstReconstruction and its authors in order to defend the #13thAmendment as written and criticize the growing description of the prison exception for #InvoluntaryServitude as ongoing #slavery.

The #Critical #Need to #Teach the #History of #MassIncarceration.

Mass incarceration is the clearest #afterlife of #slavery. The #exception for “#slavery and #involuntaryservitude” to continue to be used as #punishment for #crime was reinscribed in #federallaw following #slavery’s #formal #abolition.
