Weekly Program
Michael King (UC Santa Cruz, writer); Walter Magana (former prisoner); Bob Avakian (Chairman, Revolutionary Communist Party)
Michael King, UC Santa Cruz, writer, exposes the reality of police terror in the SF Police Department's savage murder of 19-year-old Kenneth Harding for not having train fare and continued in the demonization of Harding and the cover-up of the murder. Walter Magana, former prisoner, tells a gripping story of 13 years spent living in the Corcoran State Prison's SHU in California, including during the years the guards were forcing inmates into gladiator battles and then killing them. In excerpts from the filmed talk "Revolution: Why It's Necessary, Why It's Possible and What It's All About," Bob Avakian, Chairman, Revolutionary Communist Party, lays bare the role of the police in relation to Black youth and insists that youth deserve a better future.
