  • Résumé

  • Black August is a tradition that originated in California's prisons in the 1970's after the deaths of brothers Jonathan and George Jackson as well as other incarcerated Black men who sought freedom.

    Monifa Bandeleh with the Movement for Black Lives further explains-

    "During Black August, we honor Black freedom fighters, many of whom were killed by the state or imprisoned for defending Black lives," 

    This month is a time to reflect and learn about the legacies of Black revolutionaries, while we rededicate ourselves to the protracted struggles against white supremacy, colonialism, capitalism, and imperialism. We study, plan, and pledge to continue the work and fight for Black liberation."

    At the BlackEast Podcast this month we want to use this series of interviews to pay homage to the revolutionary ancestors who made it possible for us to be free today AND lift up the people who are working now to bring freedom.

    Our first interview is with Dedan Waciuri a young activist from Greenville NC who is the Organizing Project Manager of the North Carolina Environmental Justice Initiative and the  founder of Mapanduzi.
