Episode 5: The Epidemic

from Colored · host Colored

In Episode 5, Prasanna and Joe tackle one of the central questions that initially inspired them to create this series: how much of an impact did crack cocaine have, really? As the episode progresses, they highlight personal recollections of how crack cocaine shaped the 1980s and 90s, as well as relevant and important statistics. You can find a couple of the folks we heard from today on Twitter: Michael Curry (@BostonNAACP1911) Carl Williams (@carltonwilliams)
