Angola 2 fight La. prison hell
Excerpts from a talk by Malik Rahim at the Communist Manifesto conference Dec. 5.
I'm here on behalf of two revolutionary freedom fighters that have spent the last 26 years in solitary confinement in Angola, a state prison in Louisiana. I met these freedom fighters as a political prisoner in 1970. I was in a shoot-out with the police in New Orleans as a member of the Black Panther Party.
While incarcerated, the prison administration, in the hope of killing all of us, mixed what they called Black gangsters with revolutionaries, in the hopes that we would cancel each other out.
But instead many of them joined the party and organized the first prison branch of the Black Panthers. Four of the people that were instrumental in forming the Angola branch were Albert Woodfox, Herman Wallace, Gilbert Montague and Roy King Wilsonson.

Excellent! Great work as always, KCVL.
Cindy is really playing with fire here. Her family might want to seriously consider having her institutionalized for awhile until she snaps out of it.
