Flipboard Culture Desk<p>Alcatraz Prison in San Francisco Bay closed more than 60 years ago and was reopened as a museum in 1973. It now attracts more than one million visitors a year.

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 20, 2000: Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown, was arrested for murdering a Georgia sheriff’s deputy. Al-Amin had been a member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Black Panthers. He once said that “violence is as American as cherry pie.” Al-Amin denied shooting the deputy. His fingerprints were not found on the murder weapon. He had no gunshot wounds, though officers who were present at the shootout claimed that the suspect had been hit and wounded. Another man, Otis Jackson, later confessed to being the shooter, but the authorities have repeatedly denied Al-Amin’s requests for a retrial. He is now serving a life sentence. He had been at Florence supermax, under a gag order preventing interviews with journalists. In 2014, he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. He is now at the U.S. Penitentiary, Tucson. In April 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal from al-Amin.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/blackpanthers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackpanthers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sncc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sncc</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HRapBrown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HRapBrown</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cancer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>journalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/incarceration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>incarceration</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SuperMax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SuperMax</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wrongfulconviction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wrongfulconviction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMastadon</span></a></p>
