mostra di piùOn Feb. 1, 1985, prison guards at the Indiana State Reformatory (now Pendleton Correctional Facility) affiliated with a KKK-splinter group known as the Sons of Light chained prisoner Lincoln Love in their office and began to mercilessly beat him. John "Balagoon" Cole and Christopher "Naeem" Trotter led a group of prisoners to the office and demanded entrance. When the Sons of Light responded with more violence, the prisoners took hostages and occupied a cell block for 15 hours, releasing a list of demands to improve inhumane prison conditions. John "Balagoon" Cole and Christopher "Naeem" Trotter were ultimately sentenced to 84 and 142 years for their successful attempt to save Lincoln Love's life. Cole and Trotter remain incarcerated to this day, and now face major medical complications from old age and decades of institutional neglect. On this episode of Rattling the Bars, Mansa Musa speaks about the "Pendleton 2" with poet Too Black and journalist Victoria Law.
