As Esposito and Wood write in Prison Slavery (Silver Spring, Maryland: Printed by Joel Lithographic, Inc., 1982), \"A few of the original study group members were paroled during 1975 and 1976, and proceeded to contact those community people to whom we had previously smuggled our analysis. Together we organized the Committee to Abolish Prison Slavery. ... Since our beginning, we have obtained several thousand signaures on the nationally distributed Petition to Abolish Prison Slavery and, through grassroots methods of organizing, we grow closer to the abolition of prison slavery and the return of inalienable citizenship, labor, and human rights to our incarcerated brothers and sisters\" (p. 2).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOCLC locates one holding at the University of Michigan, and we note one other at OMCA.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"[13th Amendment].","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45724409659461,"sku":"3963","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0028\/6978\/8741\/files\/3963.jpg?v=1789058377"},{"product_id":"km-003964","title":"Black People.

The poster features an illustration of a family made up of a Black woman, man, and child in a prison cell, with the lock plate of the cell door made up of fourteen stars, such that the image resembles an upside down American flag with vertical prison cell bars instead of horizontal stripes. Each day's schedule of events is printed in the red background between the bars on either side of the family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eANPO grew out the campaign to free Dessie Woods and, like that campaign, was anti-colonialist in nature and included significant involvement from the African People's Socialist Party (APSP). A position paper issued by APSP on November 3, 1977, \"On Building an African National Prison Organization,\" notes that the first meeting of what would become ANPO was held on September 4, 1977, in Atlanta, Georgia, following a national mobilization to free Woods. At the meeting, five key principles were decided on for building ANPO: self determination, political independence, anti-imperialism, anti-colonialism, and self defense. A host of proposals is offered in the paper, primarily focused on prison reform, political prisoners, and the abolition of the death penalty.
