By Any Means Necessary

In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Mia Donovan, director of the new documentary “Dope is Death,” to discuss the ground-breaking "Lincoln Detox" program, why Dr. Mutulu Shakur coordinated with revolutionary organizers to create America's first alternative detoxification centers in Black communities plagued by heroin in the early '70s, and how the program's refusal to comply with the US government's strict adherence to methadone-only treatment tied into the broader state campaign of extreme surveillance and retaliation against both Dr. Shakur and the Black liberation movement at large.
