What are the four primary institutions that Stevenson says shape the conversation around race and justice today?

I have read the book and seen the movie, but I cannot seem to pinpoint the answer to this question. This is from a professor in my college class on conviction of the innocent. thanks in advance for any help!

Stevenson writes that there are four primary institutions that shape the conversation around race and justice today: slavery, racial terror and the threat of violence against people of color, Jim Crow laws that legalized segregation, and mass incarceration.
