Join us tonight on Smile Politely Radio as we talk with educator and social activist James Kilgore about his new book, Understanding Mass Incarceration: A People’s Guide to the Key Civil Rights Struggle of Our Time. Kilgore, who works at the University of Illinois, spent six years in prison, during which time he drafted his three published novels.
