Documentary Screening & Live Q&A Thursday, February 24th, 11 AM - 1 PM

Featuring:

• IMAM SIDDIQUE ABDULLAH HASAN; leader of the Lucasville riot, educator, writer, and activist, calling live from Ohio State Penitentiary’s death row

• DJONES; acclaimed documentary filmmaker (Georgia, Ohio)

In this online event we are Rethinking Race in the U.S. criminal justice system. We will first learn about the biggest prison uprising in the 20th century that happened in Lucasville, Ohio in 1993 through the award-winning documentary “The Shadow of Lucasville” (2013, DJONES). Transgressing racial boundaries, the uprising had united Sunni Muslims, the Aryan Brotherhood and the Black Gangster Disciples against injustice and ongoing abuses. Students will then have the unique opportunity to directly speak with the leader of the Sunni Muslims, IMAM SIDDIQUE HASAN, who is calling in live from Ohio State Penitentiary’s Death Row and connect to an “inside” expert on racialized mass incarceration and on updates on his wrongful conviction case.
