Posted • Brothers — Today begins Black August, a month long commemoration of the lives of fallen freedom fighters, political prisoners and prisoners of war.
Our organization is humbled to join 90 brothers and sisters from and comrades around the world, inside and outside of prison, in observing the three central tenets of Black August: Fasting (Sunup to SunDown all Month), Studying (Reading and study Groups), and Training. We are denying ourselves the distractions that are so plentiful in our lives to raise awareness of conditions in prisons, to educate ourselves on the history of Black & Afrikan resistance in the US and throughout the diaspora, and to recommit ourselves to the struggle of liberation and Black Independence.
We will honor our elders, all political prisoners past and present and dedicate our organization to Black liberation.
