[IMC-DC] Fwd: BAPO Newsletter Vol. 1, 3rd Edition 4-24-09 --- SEE ATTACHMENTS, Mumia Abu Jamal's "More Than A Book Party" in DC

[Black August]

Greetings from the Battlefield,

We apologize for issuing this latest edition of our newsletter a week late.
Below you will find a table of contents for the letter and attached you will
find the newsletter along with some fliers for upcoming events.  If you're
in the DC area we invite you to two events that we will be hosting this
weekend.....

On Sunday April 26 we will be co-sponsoring a book release event for Mumia's
new book Jailhouse Lawyers (
http://www.citylights.com/book/?GCOI=87286100448090) at Sankofa from 4-7pm.

On Saturday April 25 Mumia will be the feature of our monthly political
prisoner workshop and letter writing campaign at the Peoples MEDIA Center
form 11a-1pm.

Hope to see you there and thankyou to those of you who were able to make it
out last month.  To those of you who were unable to make it, we look forward
to seeing you next time.  Keep in mind, just because you can't make it out
is no reason not to write a letter on your own.  Below are the addresses of
Marshall Eddie Conway and Mumia Abu Jamal.

Straight Ahead!

"I would like to leave behind me the conviction that if we maintain a
certain amount of caution and organization we deserve victory... You cannot
carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this
case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old
formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday
for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of
those madmen. We must dare to invent the future."

Thomas Sankara, 1985



-- 
The spirit of Black August moves through centuries of Black, Indian and
multi-cultural resistance. It is an emblem of the spirit of
freedom. It is a long smoldering spark of the fire in the hearts of a
people, hearts burning and yearning for freedom.
