READ A salute to the heroic Attica Uprising
On September 9, 1971, approximately 1,500 prisoners in Cell Block D seized the Attica Correctional Facility after having submitted a 27-point manifesto to the prison administration in an attempt to address the torturous conditions inside the prison.
Four days later, Governor Rockefeller ordered the storming of Attica prison. The police assault was described with the exception of the Indigenous massacres in the 19th century, as the bloodiest one day encounter since the Civil War.
The story of the Attica prisoners is one of incredible courage and resistance! It is the story of the fight for Black and Brown liberation and for an end to working class exploitation.
The Attica uprising continues to be remembered by all who seek justice and liberation.
