This Wednesday's lecture was just one of a series that included colleges in Los Angeles, Orange County, and Santa Barbara, as well a presentation to the community at the South Central Library on Saturday. <br><br> The presentation on Wednesday was preceded by a video about political prisoners from the Black Liberation Struggle, and then some words from a professor. <br><br> Then Odinga took the mic.

Hundreds March Long Beach to Compton to Protest Los Angeles Sheriff Murder of Noel Aguilar Jessica Lux 2016-01-28 7:14 AM

Noel Aguilar, age 23, was killed on May 26, 2014 by Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Deputies Albert Murad and Jose Ruiz, who lied to make it seem like their victim deserved to die. LASD falsely reported that Noel was armed, had shot an injured deputy, and tried to take away the officers' guns. A witness cell phone video released in December 2015 revealed that Deputy Ruiz actually shot Deputy Murad accidentally and then shifted the blame to Noel, who was shot four times at point-blank range while being pinned down. Noel's final words #ImDying became a rallying cry for a protest held January 16, 2016. Over 300 people marched a three-mile route to the Compton station of the LASD, where Noel's killers Albert Murad and Jose Ruiz report to duty. (image/jpeg)

Vigil for O'Day, Helen, Barry, and Carol-Ann Short, killed by racist terrorists in Fontana Rockero 2016-01-26 4:55 AM

January 23, 2016 <br><br> FONTANA - A group of about 20 Fontana residents and local activists gathered yesterday evening outside of Randall Pepper Elementary School to commemorate the 1945 firebombing of the house owned by O'Day Short, an African-American targeted for racist violence for challenging white supremacy in the segregated city by daring to purchase a house on the south side of Baseline Avenue. Short, his wife Helen, and their two children Barry and Carol-Ann were all killed as a result of the December 16, 1945 firebombing. The incident, when eventually investigated, and even then only superficially, never led to any arrest or prosecution of any suspect, despite evidence pointing to death threats from the white real estate agent who sold the property and two white deputies of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.¹ The vigil lasted about an hour-and-a-half, and featured words from the attendees, political discussion, and prayer.
