What This Country Needs Is

The Idea Of Freedom Is Inspiring. But What Does It Mean? If You Are Free In A Political Sense But Have No Food, What's That? The Freedom To Starve?

Now, If We Look At The Way In Which The Labor Movement Itself Has Evolved Over The Last Couple Of Decades, We See Increasing Numbers Of Black People Who Are In The Leadership Of The Labor Movement And This Is True Today.

We Know The Road To Freedom Has Always Been Stalked By Death.

That's True But I Think The Contemporary Problem That We Are Facing Increasing Numbers Of Black People And Other People Of Color Being Thrown Into A Status That Involves Work In Alternative Economies And Increasing Numbers Of People Who Are Incarcerated.

I'm Suggesting That We Abolish The Social Function Of Prisons.
