The Black Dragon

In a fast-paced true story that reads like a novel, The Black Dragon: Racial Profiling Exposed is a passionate and much-needed account of the struggle to put an end to police profiling on the New Jersey Turnpike, according to Professor Frank Askin, Distinguished Professor of Law and Director Constitutional Litigation Clinic, Rutgers Law School/Newark. From the case of the long-haired travelers in the '70s through legal efforts to halt racial profiling in the '90s and beyond, Joseph Collum, investigative journalist, has made a major contribution to the protection and advancement of civil rights in New Jersey and the country as a whole.
