Go free, Brother. May peace be upon him always.
Imam Jamil Al Amin (H Rap Brown) has returned to His Lord. For years we fought to free him. Today he is free. From prison to paradise God willing. He never lost his dignity, his voice never shook. His innocence was proven, but the system didn’t care. We cared. We loved. And InshaAllah, we will continue to move forward with his legacy.
May Allah accept him among the righteous and grant him the highest ranks of paradise. Ameen
Boy, it appears some of us will love the oppressor and the oppression all the way down. Fascinating.
Mike Brown, Jr. should be here today. #IfWeDontGetIt

Meet me on the Vineyard! On Aug. 12 at 4pm, I'll be discussing #IfWeDontGetIt at the Featherstone Center for the Arts in Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard. I'll be in conversation with my old friend #JamelDonnor and my outstanding editor, #MarcFavreau!

Big shout to @solidstatedc for hosting a discussion about #IfWeDontGetIt! I was blessed to be in conversation with my Bro. Attorney #JustinHansford and my research student #AveryCook. What a great community showing! #blackbookstores #FergusonUprising

It's dark, but not all is lost. This Southern Poverty Law Center @splcenter podcast discusses when the people rise up. I joined the conversation at the 16 min mark, but the entire piece is fire! Don't despair; we have each other! #IfWeDontGetIt

Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I'll be in conversation with @tavissmiley on @kbla1580 tomorrow morning, discussing #IfWeDontGetIt. Catch me if you can! #Ferguson #MikeBrownForever #FreeJosh
There's much to learn from the #FergusonUprising. Thanks to @FocusSpfld, @_olivetreebooks, and the men of Beta Sigma Boulé for allowing me to discuss #IfWeDontGetIt! Shout to panelists Norm Jones, Princess Garrett, Mardochee Sylvestre, and King Zaire Burton. #MikeBrownForever
Didn't US President #HerbertHoover mobilize troops on American #citizens? How did that work out?
The methods and tactics of the state clearly mirror the response to the #FergusonUprising. Children will suffer if nothing is in place to accommodate this avoidable upheaval in their neighborhoods and city. #IfWeDontGetIt
For as reprehensible as all this is, these "operations" all over the place look so daggone expensive! What is this costing us? #toomuch
Y'all actually think these billionaires are beefing for real??? This is just good TV and press for those who don't mind plundering The People.
#ThePeople on the ground in #StLouis are really modeling community right now! Thanks to @ActionSTL, @FortheCultureSTL, and @ULofMetroSTL for their tireless work. Much love.
