Prisons Do Not Disappear Problems, They Disappear

A Fair Trial Would Have Been No Trial At All.

I Think It's Important For Us To Recognize That Although Historically Black Communities Have Been Very Progressive With Respect To Issues Of Race And With Respect To Struggles For Racial Equality, That Does Not Necessarily Translate Into Progressive Positions On Gender Issues, Progressive Positions On Issues Of Sexuality And In The Latter 1990s We Have To Recognize The Intersectionality, The Interconnectedness Of All Of These Institutions And Attitudes.

I Think The Importance Of Doing Activist Work Is Precisely Because It Allows You To Give Back And To Consider Yourself Not As A Single Individual Who May Have Achieved Whatever But To Be A Part Of An Ongoing Historical Movement.

Obviously There Are Some Organizations That Go Out On The Street And Say We Want An End To The Capitalist System. But Obviously That Is Not Going To Happen As A Result Of Just Assuming That Stance.

I Guess I Would Say First Of All That We Tend To Go Back To The 60s And We Tend To See These Struggles And These Goals In A Relatively Static Way.
