Norman A. Carter Jr. was sitting in an Army barracks in the 1960s when he decided to become a police officerand in 1967, he was accepted into the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Police Academy.
His wife and family did not like the idea of him becoming an officer of the law. Police officers were known as people not to be trusted, and the people in Carters neighborhood saw them as corrupt and brutal.
But Carter was convinced that the best way to change that perception and help the country heal during the turbulent Civil Rights Movement was to become a Police Officer. He knew that once he became a Police Officer, hed work alongside other honorable men and women.
While there were plenty of those, including some who died serving their city, he also found others who soiled the reputation of Police Officers determined to protect and serve. Some of them were criminals themselves.
For years, he tried to expose these criminalized Police Officers , but he wasignoredor worseretaliated against. He reveals how a corrupt system negatively impacted every citizen of Philadelphia in The Long Blue Walk.
