In May 1970, activists rallied in support of Martin Sostre, a Black Puerto Rican anarchist and jailhouse lawyer who fought for prisoners' rights and against government oppression. His legacy is largely unrecognized, despite his significant contributions to the civil rights and abolitionist movements. Historians like Garrett Felber aim to revive his story through works such as 'A Continuous Struggle: The Revolutionary Life of Martin Sostre,' which emphasizes the importance of Sostre's activism in today's context and connects it to broader liberation efforts. The book will not only be available for readers but also provides a free copy to incarcerated individuals for every pre-order.
All struggles of liberation are linked and interconnected. Whatever serves the cause of liberation in one area of this planet affects us.
Alongside defense campaigns for Angela Davis and Huey Newton, the movement to free Martin Sostre represented one of the most improbable, if since forgotten, victories of the Black Power era.
