What is the Black August Planning Organization?
MISSION STATEMENT The Black August Planning Organization (BAPO) is committed to the task of ensuring that our political prisoners (PPs) and prisoners-of-war (POWs), particularly those of the black liberation movement in the USA, are not forgotten. We advocate on their behalf, disseminate their teachings and principles, and tell their stories of struggle against injustice. By doing this, we hope to contribute to the fight for their liberation and to inspire those of us outside of captivity to pick up where they left off.
In addition to the individual PP/POWs, we also commemorate the history of the movements and organizations of which they were a part, as well as of the movements and organizations which preceded them, thus providing an historical overview of the ongoing movement for black liberation. Furthermore, we encourage all organizations, no matter what their cause, to contribute earnestly and with good work to the cause of black liberation and to the freedom of all PP/POWs. After all, the unspeakable persecution suffered by such fine political activists and thinkers as Marcus Garvey, Assata Shakur, and Mumia Abu-Jamal sufficiently proves that Unless we fight for true liberation and power for ourselves and others, today's activist may well be tomorrow's political prisoner!
“Any movement that doesn't support its political prisoners is a sham movement.”

We give thanks to you, O Jah, we give thanks, for your name is near; men tell of your wonderful needs.
You say, “I chose the appointed time; it is I who judge uprightly. When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm. To the arrogant I say, ‘boast no more,’ and to the wicked, ‘do not lift up your horn. Do not lift up your horn against heaven; do not speak with outstretched neck.”
ameriKKKa home of the slaves and the indigenous while it remains land of the thieves and war gods… the greatest county in the so-call free world will preach democracy abroad to others (implementing dictators to do they dirty work/rage against human rights) yet sanction the righteous people in reservation camps and violate civil rights at home. on this day while we ameriKKKans celebrate Columbus day, lets remember who the man was, where he came from, and what happened after he come to this great land. HAPPY Columbus day
Ex-Black Panther Rejected by U.S. Supreme Court in Murder Case
By Greg Stohr
April 6 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Supreme Court rejected an appeal from Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former radio reporter and Black Panther whose conviction for the 1981 killing of a Philadelphia police officer sparked international controversy. The justices, without comment, left intact a federal appeals court ruling that upheld Abu-Jamal’s conviction, turning away his contentions that prosecutors sought to exclude blacks from the jury. He was convicted in 1982 by a jury of 10 whites and two blacks.
The case is Abu-Jamal v. Beard, 08-8483.
Just a small change (Changeless change) Real change that you could believe in' would be an end to Empire, and an end to wars for corporate greed, not just a change of the shade of the political managers. That change, I'm afraid, is still to come. - Mumia Abu-Jamal
it is not the passing of the years
but the ripening wisdom of living
it is not just a toll taken
gut a well of receiving and giving
it’s not just the people come and gone
but the heart’s many faces and forms
it’s not just a weathering of skin and bone
but a weathering of stalls and storms
it is not just the luck of survival
but the brave conquering of strife
it is not just the passing of so many years
but the gathering of love and life
in the name of his imperial majesty
