Check out this important video about a powerful figure, George Jackson, who far too many people today have never heard of. Here is a heroic fighter for the human rights of prisoners.
Stay tuned for an upcoming collaborative effort between Angola 3 News and Freedom is a Constant Struggle, as we focus on the issue of US political prisoners.
Freedom is a Constant Struggle TV show, Black August 22, 2008.
Luis Bato Talamantez and Willie Sundiata Tate were in the so-called Adjustment Center (lockup!) in San Quentin on Black August 21, 1971, the day their/our comrade George Lester Jackson was assassinated by prison guards in what we believe was a set-up by the Administration.
Bato and Sundi were comrades who became known as The San Quentin Six, and are currently members of All of Us or None. They both did time in California juvenile and adult prisons where they got to know Comrade George, became politicized, and turned their lives around. Bato also works with the ANSWER Coalition and California Prison Focus. They continue to advocate for equal justice, freedom for political prisoners, and equal opportunities for ex-prisoners upon release.
