DESCRIPTION:Honoring Black August & Revolutionary George Jackson\n\nBlack August 
 commemorates the prison struggles of the early 1970s and other defining 
 moments in the Black liberation struggle. August 21 marks the 48th 
 anniversary of the 1971 San Quentin prison rebellion that ended with the 
 assassination of revolutionary prisoner leader George Jackson. The trial of 
 the San Quentin 6 that followed was the longest in California history up to 
 then. Just 19 days after the San Quentin rebellion, prisoners took over 
 Attica prison and held it for four days until a massacre was ordered by NY 
 governor Nelson Rockefeller. Strikes and other action followed at prisons 
 across the country and around the world. Today, we see the growing 
 criminalization of women, especially women of color. \n\nJoin us for talks 
 and discussion with special guest speaker Bato on “Reminisces of George 
 Jackson and Black August Struggles.”\n\n$3-10 donation, no one turned 
 away for lack of funds. \nRefreshments provided. Wheelchair 
 accessible.\n\nFacebook:
