More than 1.5 million African people are locked up in prison or jail in the U.S., victims of a colonial system where they are the targets of profiling, discriminatory prosecutions and unfair sentencing.
A number of them are political prisoners who have spent most of their adult lives behind bars after serving as heroes in the Black Power movement of the 1960s.
Today, African prisoners face an additional threat - COVID-19. Demands are growing for the immediate release of prisoners across the U.S.
