UN - GUARDED SMILE - a poem to Sam Randolph by Julia Wright
(Daughter of Literary Icon Richard Wright)
Tumblr media
brother Sam
when I first met you
on another zoom
I did not know your name
and all I saw
was what I thought
at the time
was such a beaming
unguarded smile
that I failed to notice
the bed from
which you spoke
up for others
little did I know
that you literally
had won your smile
against the guards
who made sure you
were shackled
before severing your spine
while failing to break your spirit
the upright courage it took
to withstand torture
by the guards and the DA
shows who the spineless ones really are
your humble relentless determination
not to be broken not only exonerated you
it turned you into our honored teacher
(c) Julia Wright. May 2nd 2023.

"Living Death : Ruchell, Mumia and Sam Randolph" RSTV April 30th with Kalonji Changa, Joy James, Dylan Rodriguez and Sam Randolph

On this day, 7 August 1970, the Marin County courthouse incident took place when 17-year-old Jonathan Jackson attempted gain the freedom of the Soledad Brothers, three Black prisoners charged with the murder of a prison guard. George Jackson, Jonathan's brother, John Clutchette and Fleeta Drumgo were accused of killing a white guard in retaliation for the prior killing of three Black prisoners by another white guard. Jonathan Jackson brought three guns into the courtroom, armed the defendants, including Black Panther Ruchell Cinque Magee and took the judge, prosecutor and three jurors hostage. The aim was then to demand the freedom of the Soledad Brothers. But as the group drove away, a firefight broke out in which four people were killed, including Jackson, all of the defendants except one, and the judge. The guns used by Jackson were registered to Angela Davis, who was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit kidnapping and murder, and was later acquitted of all charges. The only surviving defendant, Magee, was subsequently imprisoned for life, where he remains today. Davis later penned a collection of writings about her imprisonment and the US criminal justice system, available here: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/products/if-they-come-in-the-morning-angela-davis https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/2052575461594260/?type=3

Ruchell "Cinque" Magee Will Be free!
Politicized prisoner and jailhouse lawyer, Ruchell “Cinque” Magee, is slated to be released after 67 years in the California prison system. Cinque is 84 years old, arrested on an indeterminate sentence around a marijuana charge from 1963, he joined the attempted jailbreak during the Marin County Courthouse shootout in which Jonathan Jackson attempted to free William A. Christmas and James McClain. Ruchell was the sole survivor and was a co-defendant of Angela Davis until their cases were split. There is a fundraiser to support Cinque’s post-release needs as an elder: https://fundrazr.com/82E6S2
Rashid's Treatment Resumes, Thanks To Support!
As an update to past announcements from Kevin “Rashid” Johnson of the Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther Party, the public pressure from calls & emails apparently had the desired results and as of a few days ago he was receiving the medical treatment he needs for his prostate cancer, though he hasn’t received all of his papers so he can continue to pursue his lawsuits against the Virginia DOC since they were confiscated by prisoncrats, but he’s super thankful for public engagement to defend his health. More updates on his case can be found at rashidmod.com

COALITION TO FREE RUCHELL MACGEE.

Link
By Thandisizwe Chimurenga
Ruchell Magee has neither committed nor been convicted of murder. He was first eligible for parole in 1981, but has been denied release ever since. He is 82 and housed at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville. At his most recent parole hearing in July, Magee was denied parole for another three years. He will be 85 at his next scheduled hearing.
Magee is no threat to society. He has housing, financial and emotional support networks in place to help him readjust to life on the outside, and yet he remains behind bars. Why?
