6:32 pm
a throw in general he was taken off death row and is now serving life behind bars without parole for the first time since his transfer oh he's speaking exclusively with our teeth from jail. thank you so much for speaking with us today my first question to you is after almost thirty years on death row and now serving a life sentence without parole if you were behind bars right now if you could be anywhere else in the world where do you think you would be and what would you be doing. i've always been sent my earliest years what one would call international studies pay attention to what's happening in other parts of the world and as an internationalist i'm. thinking about life lived by other people all around the world of course as an african-american i would love to spend some time in parts of africa but it's also true that i have many friends and loved ones and friends i was really like to. bring my family my wife and my kids to come see
6:33 pm
our street. me i was wondering why guard you seem to be watching world affairs much closer than most people who are free to walk the streets and i want to ask you which events of the last thirty years would you really want to be a part of if you could i think first would probably be the anti-apartheid movement itself africa because of course with south africa it was also global because it was the touch point of white supremacy versus the freedom and dignity of african people . which are. you know logical first choice but wherever people are fighting for freedom you know that my avatar gets my attention and moves my gosh you turn at the end of the month which means you will have spent more than half of your life behind bars and most people can't even begin to imagine
6:34 pm
that what is it like how does it change your. the point of fact i've spent most of my life. the bigger percentage of my life on death row and i cannot have had a profound effect on consciousness and on. the way one sees and interact with the world. i like to tell myself that i've actually spent a lot of the time. on the bars and in other countries and you know. other parts of the world because i did so mentally but mental can only take you so far. the truth of the matter is i spent most of my living years in my lifetime on death row so in many ways even to this day in my own mind. if not in fact i'm still your story has really become a symbol for many of our flawed justice system do you personally have any faith
6:35 pm
left in a sterile and free justice system described in your work the prison system the united states of the war on the poor our prisons being built to get rid of the broken the homeless do you have any faith left in that's all considering you are obviously so much part of part of it and your life has been so much affected by this when i was a teenager and i was in the book at the party i remember going to downtown manhattan and protesting against the. political imprisonment and incarceration and the threats facing angela why davis. and i remember you know of course like many other cases reaching her works and. and. finding when she attacked the prison system she talked about the perhaps two hundred fifty thousand or three hundred thousand people in prison all throughout the united states and
6:36 pm
this is not just a problem that needs to be dealt with but. a crisis situation bet bordered on fascism well fast forward thirty forty years into the present there are more than three hundred thousand prisoners in california alone one state out of fifty the imprisonment in california notice i'm not talking about united states but in california alone exceeds that of france belgium of england and perhaps you could name four five other countries combined so we could not perceive back then of what it would become and. you know so it's it's monstrous when you really look at what's happening there you can literally talk about millions of people being part of that is being crossed a rabid dog to prison industrial complex today men women and children and that
6:37 pm
level of mass incarceration really mass repression have to have an immense impact and affect our community not just among families but in a social and communal consciousness way in quotation of fear among generation so it's at a level at a depth that many of us could not even fathom or dream of today you know i can't help but wonder you talk about so many important social and economic issues in your work. you have a dream today if you could be one of those that's genes which one would you pick what you wish you could see happen in the united states never one thing i mean it's a separate question and i understand it and i will address it but the point is because the system is a system of interconnectedness and because one part of the system impacts another part of the system and because what antonio crunchie called. jimminy the
6:38 pm
ideological system impacts other parts of the system you can't change one thing that will impact things i think if anything that's one of the lessons of the like because the civil rights movement was talking about faith in a gracious and this and i have a changing the schools in point of fact if you look at the vast majority of working class support like kids in american schools today they really they live and spend their hours in their days in a system profoundly as segregated as that of their grandparents but it's not segregated by race is segregated by race and class formally class which in fact race. great journalism council who has researched american education for forty years has written in one of his most recent books that the american educational system is an apartheid system i know from my personal interaction with my own family you know talking to my wife and my kids and even grandkids that the schools
6:39 pm
that my grandchildren go to the worst in the schools i went to when i was in my minor years and in my teenage years that's a condemnation of the system but because former generations only concentrated on one thing or one side of the fire the problems really got worse and worse and worse and while there is a lot of rhetoric about schools. american schools are a tragedy that's the only thing that can be called well i would start with rephrase american schools and many of the black and latino communities are not a tragedy they are a crime were monitored by the f.b.i. at the age of fourteen and i want to ask you now was laws such as the being passed in the united states where people are watched a teen and can be held that's become easier than ever do you think big brother has officially shown his face in this country at this point though let's look at it
6:40 pm
this way if you look back at the cointelpro era what is clear is that the f.b.i. . and their leaders and their agents knew that everything they did was illegal and the f.b.i. agents were taught and trained how to break into places how to do what they called black bag jobs and that kind of stuff how to commit crimes but this is what they were also too you gotta do it and you bet i could cause because if you get caught you go to jail that will act like we are on your own what has happened in the last twenty thirty years not just being able to so-called patriot act has made everything that was legal back in the nine hundred sixty s. and nineteen fifties and nineteen seventies. they legalized legalized they legalized the very things that f.b.i. agents and administrators knew was criminal back then that means they can look at your mail pay certainly can read your e-mail they kept your phones they do all that
6:41 pm
but they do it in the name of national security but they do with nonetheless what we live in today is a national security state with big brother is. legalized legalized rationalize you described politicians once as prostitutes in suits giving your apologies to honest prostitutes so i want to ask you would selections even in the united states right now people trust who would you vote for somebody frankly i mean i have let me put it this way i have seen no one that i could in good conscious before today. because most of the people that are out there of the two major political parties when they saw it all i hear is a kind of. a reasonable. wish to return to days of yore the one nine hundred fifty s. where they talk about the perpetuation of the american empire serialist like i mean
6:42 pm
what is there to hope for how many people consciously want to go to the polls are voting for imperialism or voting for more war for their son or daughter or father or mother for that matter to become a member of the armed forces and become a mass murderer bomber or these are organizations we have to see stopped and i just want to ask you lastly you seem to have indorsed the occupy wall street movement that has sprung up all over the united states. and rising that you think could change america and do good for the united states i think it's getting a kind of a project because it has to be deeper it has to be broader it has to address issues that are touching on the lives of poor and working. christ people i think it's a waste but i think it's a damn good i just wish it was bigger. since our time is running out so me and can i ask you you are the voice of the voiceless what is your message to your
6:43 pm
supporters today right now who are listening to you. and the horrific want you to re-organize organize organize and i love you all and i thank you for fighting for me now let's fight together to be free thank you so much for your time today thank you for talking with us the best of luck thank you thank you thank you. this was the plant that was responsible for causing the world's worst industrial disaster and now it had been abandoned in the condition where it had become a source of pollution and the most recent study that was done shows that this water pollution and spreading. will continue to be in the more than hundred thousand
