About the event
A voice for the silenced, Tyrone Barnes draws the harrowing line from the Middle Passage to modern mass incarceration in his groundbreaking work. His book "We do time, They do business" exposes how slavery’s economy evolved into today’s prison-industrial complex, trading auction blocks for court dockets. The same blood that cried out on slave ships now bleeds behind razor wire. This book draws a direct line-from stolen sons in Africa to silenced voices in America's prison system. And I'm here to break that silence. This isn’t just memoir; it’s a manifesto for justice.
