"From Black August to Black Liberation: Commemorating the Struggle of Political Prisoners" was a Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) webinar illuminating the indispensable role of political prisoners in our struggle for Black Liberation. The discussion focused on the experiences and realities of current and former political prisoners, the efforts of these freedom fighters to convene the Spirit of Mandela International Tribunal, the organizing and grassroots work being done to free political prisoners, the ongoing significance of Black August, and Assata Shakur's exile as a form of political imprisonment. The panelists also considered what all of this means in the struggle against imperialism, colonialism, racism, and war.
