“For more than two centuries our forebears labored here without wages. They made cotton king, and they built the homes of their masters in the midst of the most humiliating and oppressive conditions. And yet out of a bottomless vitality they continued to grow and develop. If the inexpressible cruelties of slavery couldn’t stop us, the opposition that we now face will surely fail.” MLK Jr. Kan’t stop, Won’t stop! New Afrikan former Political Prisoner Wembe Kamau Kolomo joins co-hosts nube brown and New Afrikan former Political Prisoner Sitawa Nantambu Jamaa to speak on the work he’s been doing with and for the community since he’s been home, but started while he was still held captive at the notorious Pelican Bay and San Quentin state prisons. We’ll also be loved up and inspired by some of Brotha Wembe’s poetry and the interchange between him and Brotha Sitawa highlighting their collaboration to honor and Liberate Our Elders.
