In August of 1971, California’s San Quentin Prison experienced the bloodiest moment in its history. By day’s end, six men—three guards, three prisoners—lost their lives. Nine years into his prison sentence, George Jackson wrote Soledad Brother: The Prison Writings of George Jackson, in which he explains his incarceration, the struggles of the Black Panther Party, anti-war sentiment growing about the Vietnam conflict, and other revolutionary impulses around the world. He quickly emerged as a foremost intellectual within the prison system. Ten years into this sentence of one year to life, Jackson raised arms against his captors. August 19 at 6pm - Movie: Black August* Inmate activist George Lester Jackson's short life became a flashpoint for revolution, igniting the bloodiest riot in San Quentin's history.
