Adam Carpinelli interviews Blake Simons, a relative of prisoner Jalil Muntaqim. Muntaqim is a Political Prisoner and Prisoner of War from the Black Liberation Movement. He organized with the Black Panther Party in the Bay area and was underground with the Black Liberation Army. In 1971 at 19 years old, he was captured and has been locked up ever since. His parole reviews (over five) continues to be slandered by the Fraternal Order of Police. Jalil has maintained his innocence and continues his legacy of activism, civic engagement, education and commitment to scholarship. They will discuss the March 10th Portland event listed below.
