on this Veterans Day, let us remember the countless named and unnamed 
veterans of the Black Freedom Struggle:

“To those of us who have dedicated our lives to the liberation of Black 
people, who dare to say, “we shall have our freedom or the earth will be 
leveled by our attempts to gain it,” death is a common occurrence. It is 
something we had to accept, for we knew that in waging struggle to free 
ourselves from the chains of slavery, our choices are small, either to 
be jailed or assassinated-but we had nothing to lose and everything to 
gain.” …Zayd Malik Shakur

“To the outgunned, the outnumbered and sometimes out manned, To the 
freedom fighters who fought hard and played their part in the fight for 
the land, War wounds and battle scars, discarded dreams and broken 
hearts, Countless casualties and million to be mourned, Fallen comrades, 
captured soldiers and prisoners of war, Cats who haven’t been comprised 
and those who have lost their lives. Those who chose to die first rather 
than go to the other side, The emotionally effected, those forgotten and 
neglected, Men and women we didn’t defend because so-called society 
rejected, The ones they slandered and also hated, The imprisoned, the 
tortured and the isolated, The visionaries, the dreamers, the fighters, 
and speakers, The resisters, the rides (sic), the rank and file and 
leaders. We’ve incurred many losses in a number of ways; Let the record 
reflect revolutionary respect for the price that you paid.” …Fred 
Hampton Jr.
