Black Agenda Radio · Glen Ford: Say Political Prisoners Names While They Still Live

In 2020 our late comrade Glen Ford spoke at a Black is Back Coalition video conference on political prisoners. In these excerpts of his remarks, he discussed the need to understand the political system in this country which potentially makes every Black person a political prisoner. He asked us to say prisoners' names while they still live.
