Bato and Sundi Remember Comrade George

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.

George jackson was also given a LIFE SENTENCE FOR stealing $70.

Giving someone a life sentence for that type of petty crime is a travesty of justice.

I suggest anyone who is interested in George Jackson to read his books "Blood in my Eye" and "Soledad Brother". George was a brilliant writer and thinker.

George Jackson is internationally known and revered for the work he has done for prisoners rights and human rights.
