The election of Barack Obama as the first ever black US president in 2008 brought hope to millions of African Americans. But after four years of Obama’s presidency, have the inner cities of the United States seen positive change for black communities?
Ed Burns, co-creator of the award-winning TV series The Wire, believes that crime fighting measures have been unfairly targeted at ethnic minorities.
