The Color of Justice
As some U.S cities make progress in lowering the number of blacks in juvenile detention, Columbia's numbers rise. The Trib takes an in-depth look at how the number of arrests of black kids has been on a steady rise in this university town that prides itself on individual freedoms and civil rights. The story narrates multiple incidents where black children have been harshly taken into custody without being given a chance to be heard.
