Veteran Black Panther Julia Wright explains what we should remember about the past in order to understand this moment.
: As a veteran Black Panther and a longtime member of Black liberation organizing, you have worked for decades within political communities that have repeatedly been shaken by assassinations. What was the impact of those tragic killings?The assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X shook us to the core and traumatized many of us — they towered way above us like trees and were felled.
This also brings us back to the demonization of Mumia. Mumia’s COINTELPRO files state: “Mumia is intelligent, has no criminal record but it is the nature of his writings that cause us to place him on the National Security index.” One detects a scintilla of regret that a criminal record could not be dug up. If it had been after 9/11…
The more I look at police narratives, the more I tend to see how repetitive and uncreative they are — almost laughably, if it were not so tragic. It is almost as if the police and FBI have some police narrative algorithm applicable to all cases. Why waste time, right? First, we see that the forest defenders are faced with a double jeopardy: either they protest and protect the land and are arrested to be charged with domestic terrorism, becoming young Mumias , or they are killed outright like Tortuguita. This is what Panthers like Fred Hampton faced.
The prosecution close to the Fraternal Order of Police turned Polakoff’s photos down, probably for a good reason: the photos show that there was extensive tampering of the crime scene and deconstructs the testimony of their star witnesses. These two witnesses, as exculpatory evidence hidden by the prosecution for 36 years shows, were bribed to finger Mumia.
As the Senegalese human rights activist Ramata Dieng, who lost her brother Lamine in Paris, France, to the same type of chokehold as George Floyd, says: “This type of footage may not give us justice, but it gives us the truth.”
