We are in the month of Black August, a month of remembrance, resistance, and of honor—to those who stood on the front lines, who paid the ultimate price in the fight for liberation—many of whom are still behind prison walls.

Black August is one of the most revolutionary months in Black History:

August 1791 the Haitian Revolution erupted
August 1831 witnessed Nat Turner’s rebellion in Virginia
August 1963 The March on Washington
August 1965 Watts Rebellion, Sparking the Black Power Movement
August 2014 The Ferguson Uprisings- Sparking Black Lives Matter Movement
