Why isn't Craig Watkins, District Attorney of Dallas County, Texas recognized in a serious way by the Black community and it's intelligentsia.
During Craig Watkins tenure as District Attorney he has exonerated approximately twenty-one wrongfully convicted persons, one at least thirty years of unlawful imprisonment. This is extraordinary, an American Prosecutor actually concerned with getting the application of state organized violence and it's justice ideal right.
The undeniable nexus of American society with the Black American Experience is that of state organized violence and it's justice ideal. Despite the pervasiveness of criminality within American society the sanctioning and imprisonment of back offenders has always exceeded it's per capita ratio.
One would assume that the Black community and it's intelligentsia would exploit the utilitarianism of Craig Watkins as a shaming and critical polemic against other District Attorneys who execute the duties of their office as a mandate to only prosecute and sanction Black people--- idealistically Craig Watkins has been ignored and toils unnoticed.
