Join Haymarket Books and Souls for a discussion of the campaign to free Mutulu Shakur.\n\nThis panel will examine the legacy of Dr. Mutulu Shakur and what this current generation of activists can learn and apply from his political history as an activist, health worker, and political prisoner. What does the experience to win his release have to teach us about remaining COINTELPRO-era political prisoners and contemporary BLM-generation activists?\n\nSpeakers:\n\nRukia Lumumba is the Executive Director of the People\u2019s Advocacy Institute, co-coordinator of the Electoral Justice Project, and campaign co-coordinator of the successful Committee to Elect Chokwe Antar Lumumba for Mayor of Jackson, Mississippi. \n\nJomo Muhammad is an organizer with the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement & New Afrikan People's Organization. \n\nMonifa Bandele is a member of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement and the Movement for Black Lives.\n\nRobin D.G.
