Thanks for the shout out and compliment ✊🏾😊 Reposted from @georgejacksonuniversity 🐉 #blackaugustresistance There have been a slew of books about George Jackson, his role as a revolutionary in prison, and the mystery around his death. One of the first was Comrade George, by Eric Mann (who went on to found the Labor Community Strategy Center in LA). The cover is almost a hand-drawn version of the Penguin Blood in My Eye, but with a yellow background, which makes Jackson seem much more inviting. The yellow glowing out from behind his afro gives him an almost saintly-character. The Armstrong cover to the right uses another photo of Jackson in chains, but unlike the somber Soledad Brother photo, in this one he’s hamming it up for the camera, with a cigarette and his chin thrust out at the camera. The red and green shadow images of the photo conceptually place Jackson within the pantheon of Black liberation, and graphically add depth to the cover. . . . . . #BlackAugust #BAM #BAR #BAOC #GeorgeJacksonUniversity #GeorgeJackson #KhatariGaulden #WLNolen #JonathanJackson #politicalprisoners #NewAfrikanRevolutionaryPrisonMovement #NewAfrikanPoliticalPrisoners #SoledadBrothers #BlackPrisonMovement #NewAfrikanMartyrs #fast #study #train #fight #freedomfighters #jamesmcclain #williamchristmas #clevelandedwards #alvinmiller #newafrikanindependencemovement #transformingthecriminalmindintoarevolutionarymind #freetheland (at Labor Community Strategy Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3u_SSgPmI/?igshid=1i5z97untzpir
