George Jackson

(1941 – 1971.)
Black author and activist. Jackson was the Field Marshal of the Black Panther Party at the time of his death.
 
In 1959, at the age of eighteen, Jackson was convicted by the bourgeois state of stealing $70 from a gas station and sentenced to “one year to life” in prison.
 
Among his works is the seminal and important theoretical text, Blood in My Eye, which, among other things, identifies and expounds upon U.S. fascism.
