Francisco Torres and Kamau Franklin on GRITtv

From the GRITtv website: A legacy of torture closer to home. In 1973 thirteen alleged black militants were arrested in New Orleans in connection with the shooting of a San Francisco police officer in 1971. Some of the men were tortured for several days by law enforcement authorities. Even though evidence obtained was dismissed by a Federal Court in San Francisco the case has recently been reopened. Legacy of Torture, a new documentary, tells the story of the San Francisco 8.

MXGM understands that the collective institutions of white-supremacy, patriarchy and capitalism have been at the root of our people’s oppression. We also understand that without community control and without the power to determine our own lives, we will continue to fall victim to genocide.
