Final week of Black History Month/New Afrikan History 365! Though this is the last week of Black History Month, New Afrikan History is 365. New Afrikan History is Black History, but most people have no idea who or what a New Afrikan is nor the very important history of the New Afrikan Nation and Independence Movement. Listen up and listen in as Brotha Sangu and Brotha Sanni, former and current Political Prisoners and survivors of decades of solitary confinement meant to break their revolutionary minds and spirits, speak on being a New Afrikan and the Unity it brings.

Black History Month/New Afrikan History 365! Leonard Peltier is FREE! We continue our conversation on what it means to be a New Afrikan with Brotha Gha'is Muntaqim, home after 40+ years, although after all is said and done he's survived the ravages of genocidal captivity in CDCr for 60 years, and comes home with 4-stage cancer among other ailments, and Kan't stop, Won't stop, Will not be stopped fortitude! We will be focusing on this historical and political issue of medical abuse, neglect and genocide plaguing our people behind razor wire, and why We should understand its implications and what We can do to support our People coming home.
First week of “Black” History Month. We'll be commemorating through the lens and narrative of New Afrikan History 365, talking about Carter G. Woodson, father of Black History Week and the importance, and intention, of his seminal book, “The Mis-education of the Negro.” We will also hear from Prime Minister Balagoon, speaking on the Honorable Marcus Garvey, Pan African, considered the Father of the New African Nation, Founder of the UNIA (Universal Negro Improvement Association), and creator of the Pan-African RBG flag (Red- for the blood spilled, Black- for the People, Green- for the land)…
This week we preempt the roundtable and hear an essay on Prop 36 and its implications by Brotha Balagoon Kambon Muhammad, 40 years enslaved, 16 spent in solitary confinement and who is waiting to get his medical release date; and we hear an excerpt of a conversation in October of 2024 with Brotha Zah, serving LWOP, life without parole, still enslaved after 40 years, and surviving 28 years in solitary confinement in both Pelican Bay and Corcoran state prisons, speaking on the ramped up white supremicist action of putting Black people back in their place, and what's going on in the background regarding Prop 36 that we should be aware of (should it pass). We do ourselves a disservice when we don't engage with our community members experiencing penal slavery. That is why Prison Focus Radio centers the voices, stories and commentary of our People in California experiencing penal slavery, a crime against humanity. We intentionally and purposefully highlight New Afrikan California former and current Political Prisoners who organized the Historic California Hunger Strikes, authored the Agreement to End Hostilities, developed Black August Memorial/Black August Resistance and survived decades of torture in solitary confinement in Pelican Bay and Corcoran state prisons euphemistically called “security housing units” (SHUs), meant to break the revolutionary mind. We will not let up on exposing the terror and genocide plaguing our People in prisons throughout amerikkka inc., nor the powerful show of revolutionary love and unity to resist it. Kan't stop, Won't stop All Power to the People Liberate Our Elders Free Em All! Free Palestine!

We continue our roundtable discussions with New Afrikan former and current Political Prisoners, Brothas Sangu, Sanni and Ghais. Together these New Afrikan men represent close to a hundred years of captivity in California's penal plantations and still count themselves among the unbroken. We will center our conversation around the impending implications of the passing of Proposition 36 in the 2024 election cycle which seeks to criminalize poor, houseless and desperate community members to funnel them into prisons, jails and detention centers, and what we can do about – because we can always assert our power and do something about these continued assaults on our humanity. We won't let up on exposing the terror and genocide plaguing our people in prisons – and on the streets – throughout amerikkka inc., but especially in California. Kan't stop, Won't stop All Power to the People Liberate Our Elders Free Em All! Free Palestine!

As we continue with gritted teeth and hearts full of revolutionary love in struggle, scrambling and striving to maintain our humanity, never faltering in our quest to build a world of dignity, peace and People Power, we remain committed to abolishing slavery and exposing all its evils by hearing from the People experiencing it – directly or indirectly. Brotha Demetrius Dixon, caged 32 years since the age of 18 and enduring the genocidal sentence of Life Without Parole, shares with us his personal healing journey – years in the making – and the program, My T.R.U.T.H., developed from it.

Kan't stop, Won't stop Free Em All Liberate Our Elders All Power to the People! Free Palestine!
We will be airing a re-edited version of the September 19, 2024 show that did not air. Co-hosts NA Zaharibu, Carl Marion and William Curl will continue to speak on the critical issue of abolishing slavery, the urgent need to shift the narrative from the oppressor's lies to the People's truth and humanity and the action we can take to build a Community Release Board to empower the community and create and benefit from a true “jury of our peers.”
This week we're back on track co-hosting with the California New Afrikan former and current Political Prisoners. We start with New Afrikan Political Prisoner, Brotha LP, reading his essay on the 13th Amendment and hearing the follow-up questions from New Afrikan former Political Prisoner Brotha Sangu.

We are joined by Carl Marion and William Curl, imprisoned at SATF in Corcoran with Zah, as they discuss: Voting on Prop 6 to end slavery in California- although we can't say it on the airwaves; The much needed work to change the colonial narrative of who is the “worst of the worst”; And the need to build a Community Release Board to empower the community and create and benefit from a true “jury of our peers.” **This week September 26, 2024 New Afrikan Political Prisoner Zaharibu, legally enslaved people William Curl and Carl Marion speak on the need to vote Yes on Prop 6 to ban involuntary servitude in California, abolish slavery and recognize the transformation of enslaved people against all odds, as the basis for their freedom and how it should change our narrative on what "rehabilitation" means and who's in prison. Kan't stop, Won't stop Free Em All! All Power to the People! Free Palestine!
We continue this month's series with New Afrikan Political Prisoner Michael Zah Dorrough who will be co-hosting as part of the ongoing Prison Focus Radio project to share the airwaves as co-hosts, with California former and current Political Prisoners discussing their work, ideas and fight for liberation - after all, this is their program. We will be joined by imprisoned comrade William Curl, convicted of the crime of murder (which he didn't commit) at 18 years old and given life without the possibility of parole by the judge who stated: “I see the system has failed you. I don't plan to do the same.” What did he mean? We will hear a more indepth perspective on the LWOP sentence from two people experiencing it, Brotha William and Brotha Zah, and why it needs to be reevaluated and abolished; and the need for a Community Release Board to give the power back to the people to have a say in how, when and why people taken from their communities and legally enslaved should come home.

We begin the month with New Afrikan Political Prisoner Michael Zah Dorrough, Sr., who will be co-hosting as part of the ongoing Prison Focus Radio project to share the airwaves with California former and current Political Prisoners discussing their work, ideas and fight for liberation - after all, this is their program. We will be joined by guest Carl Marion, held captive at SATF with Brotha Zah, to discuss two bills, Proposition 6 which will remove the slavery language from our state constitution and will be put before the voters this year. Early voting begins in October; and SB94 which failed to pass but would've given some relief to a very small percentage of the over 5,000 people serving LWOP, like Zah. Zah is serving a life without parole (LWOP) sentence for which he is unjustly convicted, and is part of the historic California Prisoner Hunger Strike class which culminated in 30,000 people participating to end indefinite solitary confinement. One person died, Billy Sell – rest in power – Zah almost did. He endured 28 years in solitary confinement and is in his 40th year of captivity.

"Losing our history only requires that we neglect to package and pass it on – then when we die, it will die with us. That death may mean the end of the spiral development of BAM from theory to practice, from practice to new theory – which has characterized its growth over 44 Cycles – to any whim which has apparent merit, and can carry the day." Fati Yero "For 44 years We have honored its standard bearers; for 44 years We have guarded its legacy, We have studied its lessons; We have re-taught what had been mis-taught; We have practiced and advanced its tenets – and on the eve of BAM's 45th anniversary, We know We are the best keepers of our story."
