11:41 am
i was raised by my grandmother. i was raised by the community to of the organization is everything that i needed i did have but those questions began to develop child separation from their parents. very deep. but it's been really good. i mean, if there's no real like that adjustment is just you know, figuring out this thing and we're just moving with it with each other, growing into it with each other. mike senior and i moved out of mike and robins place about that's been about maybe a maybe about a month, a little short shy of a month. you ready?
11:42 am
it hasn't really been an adjustment. you know what i wasn't used to was present? i know what freedom felt like i was born for the adjustment. was somebody trying to see you slot or talking to you? like you were as talk human or having you work for pennies a day. those were the adjustments when i was arrested and was sent to prison. we had rotary phones. we had a lot of phone hanging on the wall. but when i came out, they were a cell phone, smartphones mobile phones. i did have to make a big adjustment there and still, you know, i've got the basics down of what i need it for. but that was, that was a big challenge because was just so unfamiliar or even now while i get on the phone, i'm calling somebody i'm expecting to talk to
11:43 am
a person not here recording the coming home to of there's something less and something i'll return to. so that was, seems the many, donny hathaway, the right, right. why right? you see this one. this
11:44 am
is in prison. we've had demonstrations and hunger strikes and we don't subject ourselves and we know is proven to be on trustworthy. and particularly vicious towards us. there is no getting around the toxic environment that they put you in the stressful environment. they put you in. so there's always been some kind of warfare. and don't think that just because we went to prison that it ended. as you know, the salts contain very nice. yeah. we stayed in touch by writing letters and we communicated through our children. i never did that and i have been knowing each
11:45 am
other since 14 and you know, together committed in the sense $167.00. and for me, you know, and she's always been longer. you know, it's always been for several reasons. you know, we want to know something official. we start talking about data. when would be the best time? you know, for me, the best time was the day before. was it yesterday? we won't take care of this to day. you know, so this is monthly state prison. this is one of the 1st visits to see my dad. it's myself right here. it's my sister. that's my cousin,
11:46 am
david. that's my lorraine. this is a picture of me and my mom at cambridge springs. this picture was taken in november 1990 for 40 years of your life, a miscarriage children growing up. they missed all of the things that i'm doing with my kids. they missed so much, you know, this is amazing journey to, to go from that and knowing that they've been in prison all those years on justly and then get involved in working on helping to get them out the, the communities organization. i want to point out the what now
11:47 am
the, we don't want to do the right are you brought these signatures? i got someone e mail for now. let's forget can't
11:48 am
remember, we just think we have, i think it's over 300 and over 25 different countries. this is great. i thought that you can see this envelope but didn't hold up and these are some of the hand written ones. so these are great, see what it is, you know, this specialized right from around the state of pennsylvania and then looking at this countries around the world states all around the country, new york, florida, seattle, california. yeah. firm of the philippines. that is the yeah. yeah. so that's great, this is great. you know, i mean, i think this is important to be able to show that as wide support for the move 9. so these are some of the packets that we did,
11:49 am
a copy of each one sent to each and every board member. yeah. these with the me original ones we did. we submitted the a for the 2018 and then they went in for the for a may g. and so we have the stick for your mom. and your dad was even vicar cuz he had so many letters. he had all of his certificates. i mean, these are just a ton of stuff cuz of the letters we had submitted for you for your dad to get those letters for him. so anyway, if i yeah, this has been true collaboration. oh for sure. oh, that's the man. that's the best part of it as i and that's why it's so important to work together. mm hm. but i don't see you might see you guys versa yet and just help each other just and what you're able to do things i'm not able to do. you know, things i don't know, i'm in reading things, you're not able to do it very good,
11:50 am
very good teamwork teamwork. basically we're right. there we go. you know, when i was a mosque was when i was really starting to correspond with some of the move 9 or 8 and developing personal relationships, pin power relationships. and then so i'm sitting in the back of class writing letters, half paying attention, have taken notes and you know, but i would start, you know, start, i'm just trying to do a little bit of legal research would be like, what exactly is it some reading the opinions or a reading court cases describing what happened with the case and 1978 and realizing how i'm blowing it was in the court opinion. it says there's no evidence that any of the women even held the gun. let alone fired a gun at anybody. there is no evidence that any of the 9 people actually shot this person. it really solidifying what it already knew, which was that so much of this legal systems, a farce. you know, it's just this,
11:51 am
this house of cards that set up to the proper white supremacy. the writing. do they need to do it again? the state so what you can do is what you can do in your lifetime feeling that you feel for
11:52 am
working for or working to either a guessing injustice or working to right or wrong is a good feeling. you know, it's a very satisfying feeling. we have had this expansive definition of revolution and most of us, except that is a process. what does that work in actual process? look from y'all's perspective. the 1st person you're going to ask you to always is the person you're looking mirror. you've got to make sure that you're as respectful of that information and feeling as you expect others to be. and if you're not this work you have to do, you know, there's work that you have to challenge others. just people, as a person, it seems to be in opposition to that information. and the example you say it does not mean that you're not a 2nd. you know, you want to see sondra, blan, tamira rice and yana jones, you know, just on and on and on. you know,
11:53 am
you have to fight and you have to fight with those who are already fighting, who's been fine. you know, and if you don't care, then we come for you to the headed to the church, a low tables, your money for the wedding tomorrow. my parents big day, 45 years in the, making. the finally get a chance to, to get the celebratory new unit. they worked so hard to maintain over the last 45 years. 4646 years, my apologies. i hope the church is standing room only. i want as many people as that building can. oh, to show my parents the love that they deserve to feel after working so hard and it
11:54 am
is like a wedding freestyle here. now the style is kind of different. for me, i think probably for most people is a little weird to like color cuz it's like i'm the son. you know me, i'm the son. so. or is kind of things are kind of in reverse. just spinning the time in the work, putting in the work to make this happen and all of that is very joyfully, very healing is very up to this thing and encouraging and aspiring the, you know, that's a good example of never give us all those things. i worked into how i feel in my motion. i feel i woke up this morning
11:55 am
the take about to take the box on the pills to overflowing because i am
11:56 am
a child of philadelphia. and for many of us who left bad friends, family members, supporters. we've been waiting to stay in solid there and to let them know that we love them to small in size. these rays are very large and significant. they're made of precious metal. and they remind us that love is not and it's not common. i want you just to turn around and look out there with all these people you had been apart from each other for 40 years, which is love, say, saw the
11:57 am
who is this woman to be married to this name, say a real mouth. high therefore, by the power that has been vested in me by the state of pennsylvania and most of all, by the time for now that they are husband and wife, the anything is worth doing is worth doing right. if anything is worth fighting for you by for an attorney, which means it doesn't matter how long it takes and it's worth it. navigate the,
11:58 am
the history is for going that top barrel. yet in spain, state imposed amnesia was enshrined in law. diminishing the plight of countless victims of frank coast. 36, you have to take the shape with a group of survivor. it says launched an international law suit hoping to bring those accountable to justice and force the country to acknowledge its fascist bost . the silence of others. witness all now to sierra it's a scolding and taiwan, but it's too dangerous for people's of this school in one in to return to class for

pin is needed here. quick cost more than $6000000.00 toilets. and this is just one of those are, this is public buildings damaged by an earthquake. some residential buildings are also beyond repair. this apartment building was one of the most severely damaged. it needs to be demolished before it completely collapses. despite the 7.2 magnitude string to fios quite the damage is relatively contained. so let's say that's thanks to taiwan is disaster prepared this, including its strict building 11 days that ended more than 60 young life. in may 2021. the powerful testimony of palestinian families in gaza as they remember the children killed during the as railey bombing 3 years ago. the 11 days in may. all i'll just say are
