Inspired by Pathfinder books

During his 40 years in solitary confinement in Louisiana’s Angola Prison, Black Panther and revolutionary for life Herman Wallace no doubt drew great strength from the many Pathfinder Press books that somehow made it to him.

At Herman’s Memorial in the Treme Community Center in New Orleans on Saturday, October 13 organizers of the event posted a display that listed the title and author’s name of the books in the revolutionary’s personal library. The single most numerous source of books in his library, by far, were Pathfinder publications. The people at Pathfinder should take pride in knowing that their publishing house helped inspire and nurture the consciousness of a working-class revolutionary enduring extreme repression for a horrendously long period of time.

Herman Wallace, presente!

Sponsor me a subscription

I am a big believer in Socialist views. Once released I will be very involved in the community and do what I can to help various groups.

Here and now I am a prisoner and have no funds at this time. It would mean a lot to me if you could sponsor me a subscription to the Militant. It seems to me a beautiful newsweekly on current problems that are important to me.

In struggle and solidarity,
A prisoner
