Black Agenda Report · Say Political Prisoners Names While They’re Still Alive

It was recently announced that Sundiata Acoli, Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Army member, will be granted parole after nearly 50 years of incarceration. The late Glen Ford, co-founder of Black Agenda Report, spoke at an August 16, 2020 webinar hosted by the Black is Back Coalition. The topic of discussion was the fate of political prisoners like Acoli. Glen spoke on the need to “Say Political Prisoners Names While They’re Still Alive.” He also pointed out that all victims of the mass incarceration system are political prisoners too. We present this excerpt of his remarks.
