Prisoners and Politics: San Quentin Six to Pelican Bay | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

California holds more prisoners than any other state while the U.S. incarcerates far more people than anywhere else on earth. During the 1960s and 1970s a political movement erupted among the imprisoned—Dan Berger’s new book Captive Nation takes us through that political history. Come and welcome Luis “Bato” Talamantez, an original member of the San Quentin Six, and Caitlin Kelly Henry, a local attorney who coordinates the National Lawyer’s Guild “Support from Outside the Walls” prisoner support series. Co-sponsored by Freedom Archives.
