Recognized for his activism, he was a special guest on the Committee of Science and Technology at the Sixth Pan-African Congress held at Tanzania in 1974. As a social scientist, he sought an all-encompassing social theory for Black people and formulated the concept of mentacide.

Thus, Black folk alienated from their culture and history eventually lose... Read Full Story
It’s the annual post and reminder that today is Prisoners’ Justice Day - an internationally-observed day started three decades ago by the tireless Canadian prison-abolitionist Claire Culhane.
