![What Will You Say In 2030?](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
(Cassette begins on side B)
Angela Davis hosted a conference with NPR with an audience of mostly young people. The conference is titled "What Will You Say In 2030?" Davis encourages her audience to think of the present as history in the making, and to truly analyze the past, present, and future to synchronize them into a coordination of meaningful events. Davis articulates the importance of activism and reclaiming the future of humanity. Davis articulates the racist agenda behind Aboriginal incarceration in Australia, the Reagan administration and the war on drugs, prison population, the death penalty, education, and corporate America. The concealment of private agendas and groups influencing national law and social structure is another point Davis makes. In this conference, Davis ultimately stresses the importance of critical thinking when analyzing the causes, effects, intentions, and implications of political history socially, racially, and economically and learning to create a solid understanding of history's affect and importance on the present and the future.
![Interview with Susan Rosenberg on KMUD](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Susan Rosenberg speaks over the phone from a Washington DC jail. As political activists, Rosenberg and others were charged with conspiracy to influence foreign domestic policy by illegal violent means. With a right to have a necessity to resist, Rosenberg and others actively fought against US war crimes of injustice. While being charged for four DC bombings (Capital Bombings), multiple organizations claimed responsibility. Rosenberg was initially caught with explosives and was linked to the conspiracy. A usual sentence for explosives is 3 ½ years, however her situation is politically charged and she first received a 58-year sentence. With no evidence of her doing the bombings, she was charged by political association. With no direct evidence, Susan explains that involvement can mean responsibility and potential conviction.
Along with her explanation of past problems with the government, Rosenberg talks about her recent struggle with confinement in the Lexington Control Unit and her movement to shut it down. She speaks of the injustices of sending political prisoners to solitary confinement (Lexington Control Unit). Rosenberg also explains her experiences with being retried a second time with no new evidence. The second indictment was for bombing, while the first was conspiracy. These actions were illegal due to laws of double jeopardy. Eventually, a federal judge dismissed the case. As the struggle continues, Susan Rosenberg describes that she is gaining more opportunities to fight her case and political prisoners will have more rights as well.
