August 21, 1971: Assassination of Comrade George Jackson, revolutionary communist and Black Panther Party prison leader.
He said in his book “Soledad Brother”: “I met Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Engels and Mao … and they redeemed me. For the first four years, I studied nothing but economics and military ideas.“
He joined the Black Panther Party from his jail cell and wrote about the difference between reform and revolution in his last book, "Blood in My Eye”:
“Reshuffle the government personnel and forms, without changing property relations and economic institutions, and you have produced simply another reform stage in the old bourgeois revolution. The power to alter the present imbalances … rests with control over production and distribution of wealth….
"Revolutionary change means the seizure of all that is held by the 1 percent, and the transference of these holdings into the hands of the remaining 99 percent. If the 1 percent are simply displaced by another 1 percent, revolutionary change has not taken place.”
