Political Prisoner Periodicals
The
modern movements for prison abolition and against inhumane practices
and conditions reached an initial high peak of struggle and mass
militancy during the 1970s, with rebellions and protests at many prisons
nationwide, the writings and example of George Jackson, and the
historic rebellion at Attica State Prison. This collection includes a
wide range of publications grown out of this ongoing movement, including
the Anvil, War Behind Walls, Big Mama Rag, The Outlaw, The Struggle Inside, Politics of Crime, and Arm the Spirit.

About rap and rock music in the late 1990’s. Discusses the rise in unlicensed radio broadcasting. A pioneer in this business, Black Rose attributed this rise to “more and more people dissatisfied with the way things are running in this country.” Also discusses multi-racial families living in an abandoned Catholic church. While police worked unsuccessfully to evict these families from the church, musicians supported them by performing at the church. The musicians stated that they identified with the families because they were barely making it themselves. Also about the influence of Noam Chomsky and music censorship.
