The Prisoners of Conscience Committee is embarking on a six-month
tour and education campaign around the planet called "You Can Kill a
Revolutionary But You Can't Kill the Revolution." The purpose is to
educate and re-inform people about the 40th anniversary of one of
Black and colonized people's "September 11ths," the "Massacre on
Monroe," where the U.S. government by way of the Chicago Police
Department assassinated 21-year-old Chairman Fred Hampton and Defense
Captain Mark Clark of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther
Party, at approximately 4:35 in the morning on Dec. 4, 1969, on the
West Side of Chicago.
The tour consists of a showing of the documentary film, "The
Assassination of Chairman Fred," which documents the life of one of
the Black Panthers' most talented and charismatic leaders as well as
one of the world's most vibrant chapters, and other relevant movies.
The movies will be followed by a Q&A with Prisoners of Conscience
Committee Chairman Fred Hampton Jr., the son of Black Panther
Chairman Fred Hampton, about acts of government terrorism and rampant
police murders in the community like the situations with Oscar Grant
III, Lovelle Mixon, Adolph Grimes, Kathryn Johnston, Deondre
Brunston, Donte Story, Annette Garcia, Daryl Hamilton, Sean Bell and
so many more.
Throughout this California leg of the tour, the Prisoners of
Conscience Committee will be joined on various dates by the family of
Oscar Grant and other victims of police terrorism, representatives
from resistance movements nationally and internationally, different
kinds of artists and more.
At certain locations, the POCC's Chairman Fred will be politically
educating through doing spoken word from his new debut cd, "The
Ghetto Manifesto," which is available in a limited supply. So be on
the lookout.

Editor's note: Thursday, Aug. 20, at 8:45 a.m. is another critical
date for the POCC and all its supporters. On that date, in Courtroom
112 at 661 Washington St. in Downtown Oakland, Minister of
Information JR Valrey's preliminary hearing will begin to determine
whether there is sufficient evidence to try him on the bogus charge
of felony arson. Knowing prominent print, online and broadcast
journalist M.O.I. JR as their most effective critic, Oakland police
saw their opportunity to silence him the evening of Jan. 7, during
the first Oscar Grant Rebellion, as he walked away from an impromptu
press conference with the mayor, where he had asked some tough
questions. Officers tackled M.O.I. JR, nearly breaking his leg, and
confiscated his camera, which they still have not returned. The
accusation that he set fire to a trash can is completely fictional.
Asserting the power of the people by packing the courtroom for this
hearing is essential to freeing him from this charge, which could put
him behind enemy lines for three years.
