As we bring our observance of Black August to a close, we invite you to join us for a powerful evening of reflection and solidarity. On Thursday, August 28, we will gather to screen and discuss the compelling documentary, Free Angela and All Political Prisoners. This event serves as a capstone to a month dedicated to honoring the historical struggles for Black liberation, studying radical history, and supporting those who continue to fight for justice behind bars. It is a timely opportunity to connect the past’s revolutionary spirit with our present-day movements.
This gathering is not merely a historical retrospective; it is a crucial act of political education for our current moment. As we continue to witness brutal attacks on working people, communities of color, and dissenters by the police state, understanding the long legacy of resistance is more vital than ever. Angela Davis’s story—from her targeted persecution by the FBI to her groundbreaking trial and the massive grassroots movement that secured her freedom—provides essential lessons on state repression, solidarity, and unwavering courage. Her case exemplifies how the system criminalizes those who challenge it most effectively.
By coming together to learn from freedom fighters like Angela Davis, we do more than remember history—we arm ourselves with its lessons. Her intellectual rigor and unyielding commitment to intersectional justice, linking the struggles against racism, sexism, and classism, remain a guiding light. This event is a call to draw inspiration from this legacy, to find strength in our collective power, and to reaffirm our commitment to the ongoing fight for the liberation of all political prisoners and the creation of a more just world.
