"My grandmother came to California in 1954 to escape the racism of the South not knowing that the “Crack Epidemic” would be more damaging to her and her offspring than the overt racism she fled. My grandmother is now 87 years and can look upon five generations of children. As I write, I have to try not to cry as I look at the damage on what the drugging of my community has done to my family and to myself."
We call this the BC (Before Crack) and AC (After Crack) epidemic. Get ready to think and discuss and share with us your thoughts on social media.
