The article on how blacks are targeted and their lives destroyed for possession of drugs (“Cruel and Unequal”) touched me deeply. I have written to my senators, asking them to introduce legislation to reduce the penalties for drug use. But that’s not enough. I will urge my local police to end any discriminatory targeting of blacks for drug use. I urge others to follow suit.
