To all celebrating Black History Month:
Black History Month is a time to not only celebrate, educate and embrace Afrikan contributions, but a time to continue upholding the legacy of our unsung Afrikan heroes, many of whom sacrificed a great deal in the times of the civil rights and black liberation movements.
1,000s of Afrikan people have been held captive as political prisoners or prisoners of war for holding America responsible for its injustices. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Kwame Ture and Huey P. Newton were all incarcerated for political reasons.
Many of the men and women who stood beside the civil rights and black liberation heroes of yesterday are still incarcerated today. Jalil Muntaqim and Herman Bell (of the San Francisco 8) are two of many who sacrificed so much during the civil rights and black liberation movements. Both have been held captive since the early 1970s.
