- But over the last few years,
there has come into being another kind
of political prisoner,
and I'm talking about all
of the sisters and brothers
who are victims of the system,
who are easy targets of the police,
who get railroaded through
the courts into prison,
often for no reason at all,
who are there only because they're black.
And I think a brother
during the Attica rebellion,
sort of expressed this whole thing,
when he was asked by a reporter,
what he was charged with,
and he said he was
charged with being black,
that's why he was there.

George Jackson and Fleeta Drumgo,
and John Clutchette, and Ruchell Magee,
I could go on and on and on,
to name the sisters and brothers
who have achieved a political awareness,
and a political commitment
behind the walls,
but you see, once they do this,
then they are subjected

that the prison system has to offer,
and so they end up spending
years and years and years
in prison, under the
worst of circumstances.
