Tulia
Atrocity
6/22/01
Last fall, DRCNet reported on the decimation
by drug warriors of the African American community of Tulia, Texas.
A new, 23-minute documentary by the William Moses Kunstler Fund for Racial
Justice provides a shocking look at the Tulia drug sting, proof positive
of the racism inherent in America's drug war. More than ten percent
of the African Americans in this small town were arrested in a drug sting
conducted by a single undercover officer with no corroborating evidence.
