FBI Targets Black Uhuru Movement!
Manage episode 438056459 series 10405
In April 2023, the U.S. government indicted 82-year-old African People’s Socialist Party chairman Omali Yeshitela, as well as Penny Hess and Jesse Nevel — together known as the Uhuru 3 — on charges of “failing to register as foreign agents,” merely for expressing their views on Ukraine. The indictment followed the FBI’s July 29, 2022, raid on Yeshitela’s home and several other homes and offices of Uhuru solidarity movement leaders with flashbang grenades and assault weapons.
Jimmy speaks with Yeshitela about the FBI raid on his home, the government’s case against the Uhuru 3 and why the group has been so aggressively targeted.
Plus a segment with Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Chris Hedges about his recent bout with censorship by TikTok over his criticism of Kamala Harris.
