This massive prison takeover by hundreds of inmates and the callous repression and murders by the state of New York are part of a unique moment in US history. The legacy of Attica and the fight for human rights is carried on in the prisons of Georgia, Ohio, California and wherever people are caged for years on end. *George Jackson: 48 Year Commemoration* George Jackson was a prisoner who became a leading author, a member of the Black Panther Party, and co-founder of the Black Guerrilla Family prison organization. He achieved global fame as one of the Soledad Brothers and for his writings, before being executed by prison guards in San Quentin Prison. *George Jackson Work Print* This extraordinary video is from a 16mm film ?work print? made in 1971?1972, and includes interviews with George Jackson, Georgia Jackson (George and Jonathan Jackson?s mother) and Angela Davis, while she was still in the Marin County Courthouse Jail?before her acquittal. We have not been able to identify the other prisoners. As you will see, the film has no titles or other credits. The discovery of such amazing, previously unknown historic materials always leaves us thrilled and in awe, deepening our understanding of those times and affirming the mission of the Freedom Archives.
