As a start to the Chicago Anarchist Black Cross zine project, we’re releasing a zine series in honor of Black August. Each one will feature the words of a key figure in the Black revolutionary tradition. Many of these are an attempt to respond to frequent requests we receive from prisoners who write to our zine distro. For our very first release, we present four speeches by Chicago’s own Fred Hampton.
This publication was requested by one of the Vaughn 17 who are currently being charged in connection with the uprising that took place at Delaware’s James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in February of 2017. We published and circulated a zine of their writings, which will be featured here in a separate post.
