"Growing Up in Tulia"
On the black side of town in Tulia, many children are
growing up without their parents after a drug raid which arrested 39 members
of the community. The Tulia 13 were among dozens of mostly black residents
arrested in 1999 on the uncorroborated testimony of a single undercover
agent, Tom Coleman. The drug bust incarcerated almost 15% of the town's black
population.
