UC-Irvine Welcomes ‘political Prisoner’ Involved in Cop Killings
11th February 2016
Today, the African American Studies Department at the University of California-Irvine is hosting a talk by Sekou Odinga, aka Nathaniel Burns.
Odinga was a member of the Black Liberation Army and Black Panther Party who spent 33 years in prison for attempted murder and for assisting convicted murderer Assata Shakur (Joanne Chesimard) escape from jail. (Shakur remains in exile in Cuba.)
If black people are some separate and hostile polity, then by all means let us treat them as one.
