Eric Holder Says The Justice System He Led Is Broken.

Former US Attorney General Eric Holder says the path to prison has been worn by millions of black men since the 1960s, when race-baiting political rhetoric turned into tough-on-crime legislation that disproportionately impacted African Americans.

In a major speech before the American Bar Association, Holder called for "sweeping, systemic changes" to a "broken" judicial system. He traveled around the country to call attention to various programs aimed at helping reduce prison overcrowding and recidivism.

Attorney General Eric Holder deserves accolades for his leadership efforts to reform the nation’s broken criminal justice system.
