New Afrikan Revolutionary and political prisoner Shaka A. Shakur joins the show this week to break down the ongoing fight for the liberation of the Black/New Afrikan nation within the U.S.
Introduced by producer Dakota Fronterhouse, this episode features a longer segment of “Dispatches from Behind the Wire” is part of our build-up to the release of the new documentary, “Soul in Exile: Shaka Shakur,” produced by the Shaka Shakur Freedom Campaign and Directed by Derek Ford and TheKingTrill. This segment provides important background to Shaka’s political evolution and the New Afrikan Independence Movement of which he is a leading theoretician and organizer.
Derek and Shaka cover the origins of New Afrikans as a people, why the question of land is so central to their fight, the evolution of the fight for a national territory, and the distinction between national oppression and racism.
In honor of George Jackson’s birthday, the Indiana chapter of the Shaka Shakur Freedom Campaign, PSL Indianapolis, and others are hosting at the Indianapolis Liberation Center on September 23 at 6:00 pm. Those present will hear from the filmmakers and special guest speakers, including Akili Shakur, Nairobi X, and Maurice Robinson.
