August 21st, 2001 marks the 30th anniversary of the murder of George Jackson in San Quentin prison. Through his writings and leadership inside, George Jackson embodies the legacy of the prison movement. Knowing what happened in the early 1970s prison movement is essential for youth, communities of color and progressives to effectively confront today's unprecedented prison growth.

Freedom Archives brings this history alive and aloud through the voices of the people who were there, with historical materials including George Jackson, Georgia Jackson (mother of George and Jonathan Jackson), Harry Belafonte, and James Baldwin, and contemporary reflections from Ruchell Magee, David Johnson, Hugo Pinell, Luis Talamantez and Sundiata Tate, David Hilliard, and Angela Davis, ; narrated by Jonathan Jackson, Jr.
