Letâs not forget Zulu!

I recently heard that Brother Jalil Muntaqim, aka Anthony Bottom, was released from a New York plantation â prison â after serving nearly 50 years for a 1971 double police murder in Harlem, N.Y., in 1971. His co-defendant, Herman Bell, was released on parole in 2018. Other political prisoners, including the Move 9, have also been freed after decades.
This got me thinking about our beloved brother Kenny Zulu Whitmore, who is himself one of those Black Liberation Radicals convicted in the 1970s. Zulu has been incarcerated for 46 years as of Oct. 24, 2020, being falsely accused of a political murder of the mayor of a small rural community in the parish of East Baton Rouge, La.
