Led by Attorney Amos Jones, four Black law firms, including For the People, intend to address and vindicate these egregious violations and challenge a decision which places the protections of Title VII and the right to a jury trial in certain civil cases.

The racial stereotypes and criminalization employed against Professor Beny by her employer as the "angry Black woman," including potentially being armed and dangerous, are absolutely staggering.

With both a J.D. and Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University and serving currently as the Earl Warren DeLano Professor of Law, Dr. Beny was the sole AA female tenured professor teaching at the Law School and the only tenured professor ever disciplined by the then Dean in over 10 years.

Her Petition seeks to overturn the rulings that applied the employer’s controversial “honest belief” defense to dismiss her claims, including racial and gender discrimination, retaliation, and violations of procedural due process protections designed to safeguard protections for tenured faculty.

Professor Beny, who was hired in 2003, as only the second African American female tenure-track professor in the University of Michigan Law School’s then-144-year history, is challenging a 6th Circuit decision that affirmed the district court’s dismissal of her employment discrimination lawsuit.

As part of those efforts to build a record, a People’s UPR was organized as a side event during the Third Committee Session at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, NY.

Nonetheless, U.S. civil society mobilized to ensure that people’s voices are heard through important testimonies to build a record toward addressing human rights violations here in the United States.

The UPR is a unique United Nations Human Rights Council process that allows all United Nations Member States to undergo a peer review of their human rights records every 4.5 years. So far this year, the United States government is refusing to participate in this process.

“All the bucking, protesting, resisting, fighting, starving, struggling, had all led to this. When they can’t handle your presence, they bury it.”

Powerful: “These cells had held Tom Manning and Ray Luc. They held Mutulu Shakur and Oscar López Rivera. Now I joined my elders in maintaining my resistance while buried in the Rockies,” he writes in his newest book, A Clean Hell: Anarchy and Abolition in America’s Most Notorious Dungeon.

May Assata Shakur's life serve as an example to us all of how to remain mightily undefeated.

We are grateful to our colleagues at the NCBL for their tireless decades-long brilliant advocacy of both Assata Shakur and her family. We've attached the NCBL's statement concerning the transition of Assata Shakur.

Mr. Fort's story is indispensable to Black history and the American cultural lexicon. The story must be told. Most importantly, release from solitary confinement conditions and freedom must be zealously sought. Bring our elder home. #Freefort www.freefort.org

As we reflect on the indestructible and imperishable nature of Love this weekend, we remember that in our view-indeed it is never to be forgotten, that Jesus was a political prisoner.

To honor him we share the lyrics to 'The Creator Has A Master Plan,' one of his favorite compositions by infamous jazz musician, Pharoah Sanders. To view his memorial service today in ATL, please tune in to Black Power Media www.youtube.com/live/LoguKf7...
