No More Prisons

No More Prisons - The meeting place of all those interested in Billy Wimsatt's book or the Raptivism CD No More Prisons and the issues they discuss.

Thursday, July 06, 2000

You've probably seen, read or heard about this horrible article in the New York Times. Please read Billy's diary entry before you make a judgement. I'll write my reactions later, but for now I don't want to push the other updates from the last couple of days (below) too far down the page.

hey david

i was listening to 'public interest' on 88.5 wamu last week and the show was
about poetry slams, featuring 4 (local?) poets ...anyway the first poet to
perform, Sami Miranda, read a poem called 'no more prisons', obviously
inspired by the nmp graffiti

'no more prisons tattooed on the cemented gray skin of the city ...'

Here are links to the show's page and the real audio of that show. It's well worth the listen!!

The New York Community Memorializes Shaka Sankofa

House of The Lord Church

On Thursday June 22nd the State of Texas murdered our brother Shaka
Sankofa by lethal injection. Those of us who knew his case recognize that
this so-called act of justice was nothing more than a LYNCHING! This
memorial will pay tribute to our brother and unite our community to
continue his struggle.

LONG LIVE SHAKA SANKOFA, FREE MUMIA ABU-JAMAL
