These gross acts have been ongoing since 1977 up to this present day. Now or we will die in here. The history and reality of U.S. government repression of this struggle has never been fully presented in its sordid entirety to the general North American populace. The U.S. government has imprisoned these individuals because they pose a threat to the establishment. The U.S. and many other governments have imprisoned political activists to prevent them from educating the masses about the oppressive conditions they are forced to live under.
Political prisoners know why they are imprisoned.
They understand that the government is protecting its interest. Yet, there are also prisoners of politics who, on the most part, do not understand the connection between their imprisonment and the government's need to meet their agenda. The majority of Africans in America fall into this category. I'm too far away to receive visits or the needed support from my family, as was in the early slavery days, when the family was separated and sent to different plantations. Nevertheless, I'm not complaining.
