January 26, 2018 (Jackson, TN) – Daryl Hubbard, local author, will be discussing his latest book The Decarceration of Black America for the Friends of the Library for the Noon Book Review.
Daryl Hubbard was born in the inner-city of Detroit, Michigan and is a product of the Detroit Public School System. He attended Knoxville College in Knoxville, Tennessee and was employed at the Tennessee School for the Deaf in Knoxville before moving to Jackson in 1986 to open the West TN School for the Deaf. While working at the school, he was employed as an interpreter for the Jackson Madison County School System.
Hubbard is in his 5th term as Jackson City Court Clerk since 1998 and is serving his fifth consecutive term.
Hubbard is the author of three books: Hiding the Signs, A Plethora of Ignorance and his latest book, The Decarceration of Black America which takes a look at the prison industrial complex and its effect on poor people and people of color. It offers strategies for breaking the prisons of the mind in order to transcend society’s structural impediments.
“The Decarceration of Black America is a deafening shot across the bough of black conservative thought. Hubbard unapologetically criticizes black Americans for their lack of self-determination while courageously examining America’s racist past and her oppressive criminal justice system.” James E Cherry.
The Noon Book Review, Thursday, February 1, 12:00 p.m., the Jackson-Madison County Library Program Room, 433 East Lafayette St., Jackson, TN 38301
