Friday is the 45th anniversary of the 1971 Attica Prison uprising. Twenty-nine prisoners and ten hostages were killed when police took back control of the facility after inmates resisted state repression, demanding better conditions. To mark the occasion in 2016, we’ll broadcast the CD Prisons on Fire: George Jackson, Attica & Black Liberation produced by Freedom Archives. The CD examines the legacy of the prison movement. And what these forgotten histories tell us about prisons, repression and the struggle for freedom today.
