w/ Save Sacred Hickory Ground

DOWNLOAD PODCAST
On February 15, 2013, the Poarch Band of Creek Indians tribal police arrested four men for trespassing after denying them access to pray at the ceremonial ground known as Hickory Ground to honor their ancestors. Poarch Band tribal police accused Wayland Gray of making a “terroristic threat,” which caused him to be held for 5 days on a $30,000 cash-only bond at the Elmore County jail. The criminal charge is a felony under Alabama law and carries a sentence up to 10 years in prison.

See video of arrest.

Wayland Gray and historian Robert Trepp joins us tonight to discuss the desecration of Hickory Ground.

Bro Robert King of the Angola 3 on Albert Woodfox

DOWNLOAD PODCAST Bro. Robert King joins us tonight to discuss the recently ordered release of Albert Woodfox, one of the Angola 3 who was framed by Louisiana State Prison officials for the murder of a guard. This is the third time this man has been ordered released by a judge.

Interestingly, the widow of slain guard Brent Miller, Teenie Verret does not believe the evidence against Albert Woodfox and Herman Wallace but yet the State of Louisiana continues the false imprisonment and torture of the two men.

Many advocates of political prisoners know that there persecution is not about one murder, which they did not commit but political retaliation for their political activity inside the prison in standing up for the human rights of all prisoners.
 
Please write, email or call the State Attorney General for Louisiana on behalf of Albert Woodfox. Ask him in a civil tone that he not oppose the realease of this brother.

DOWNLOAD PODCAST
Dhoruba al-Mujahid bin Wahad, formerly known as Richard Moore is a writer and activist, a former political prisoner, a former leader within the Black Panther Party for Self Defense and a co-founder of the Black Liberation Army.

He was convicted of robbing a South Bronx social club to fund revolutionary activity. The club was known to be engaged in drug dealing and paying bribes to NYPD officers. An attempted murder charge would later be filed against him in an incident where two cops were fired upon and injured while guarding the home of Frank S. Hogan, a Manhattan district attorney.

His first trial end in a hung jury, the second a mistrial and he was convicted after his third trial. 
While being held as political prisoner, he learned about the Church Committee which investigated the FBI and its illegal COINTELPRO program to target and discredited Black civil rights groups and Black Nationalist groups like the Black Panthers.

Bro. Dhroba would sue the FBI and NYPD and as direct result of his lawsuit, the FBI released over 300,000 pages of documents related to COINTELPRO. These documents would become the basis of his appeal which he won. The FBI and NYPD settled out of court in his civil suit for damages. He would later start the Campaign to Free Black and New African Political Prisoners.
