SUMMARY:An Evening with Albert Woodfox
DESCRIPTION:Join the Social Justice Initiative for a book talk with former political prisoner Albert Woodfox.    Solitary is a memoir that captures the experience of Albert Woodfox, human rights advocate, former Black Panther, and former member of the Angola 3.    Woodfox spent over 40 years in solitary confinement for a crime he did not commit. During that time he managed to teach fellow inmates to read, organize a campaign to stop prison sexual assaults, and participated in hunger strikes to improve prison conditions.    SJI?s theme for 2019-2020 is ?Home.? What does it mean when a prison cell is suppose to substitute for home? This is the case for over 2 million Americans and many migrant families in detention. We will filter this theme through our discussion with Albert Woodfox.
