“Each year officially since 1979 we have used the month of August to focus on the oppressive treatment of our brothers and sisters disappeared inside the state run gulags and concentration camps America calls prisons. It is during this time that we concentrate our efforts to free our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, and all other captive family and friends who have been held in isolation for decade after decade beyond their original sentence. Many of these individuals are held in the sensory deprivation and mind control units called Security Housing Units (S.H.U. Program), without even the most basic of human rights.” – Shaka At-Thinnin, Black August Organizing Committee from, “THE ROOTS OF BLACK AUGUST” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Black August has spread beyond prison walls to the Black community-at-large as a month to honor all those who’ve contributed to collective progress of the Black community and all those lost unjustly to violence and systemic racism. The purpose is to come together peacefully to learn and educate about our history and strategize about ways to end racial disparities and the list of unjust deaths and imprisonment of Blacks in America by focusing on such events that took place in August. The first documented Africans were brought to Jamestown as enslaved people in August of 1619. Nat Turner’s slave rebellion, Henry Highland Garnett’s slave strike, the Underground Railroad,  the March on Washington, and the Watts & Ferguson riots were all started in August as well and are points of reflection and study. #pepperspraymedia #blackaugust #georgejackson #blackcommunity #prisons #august #206bpp #jamestown #natturnerslaverebellion #henryhighlandgarnett #slavestrike #theundergroundrailroad #themarchonwashington #thewattsriots #thewattsuprising #ferguson #blacklivesmatter #learnandeducate
