"'Don't get arrested' he wrote
'Don't get arrested anymore'
But while the land is ravaged
and our pure air poisoned
When streams choke with pollution
Silence would be treason
Punishable by a term in prison."
--From the poem "Silence would be Treason " by Ken Saro-Wiwa
For Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni 9 who were imprisoned and murdered for the Ogoni struggle, we remember. Join us on November 10 to honor their lives and legacy. All are welcome.
Today we mourn the loss of Kent Wong,. Dedicated leader in the labor movement and tireless champion for immigrant workers. As Project Director at @UCLALabor and beloved teacher, Kent inspired generations of students while building bridges between workers, communities, and nations
“I had to go transnational because I wanted to tell a more global story”—I enjoyed speaking with @NewBooksNetwork's #AfricanStudies host @MariamOlugbodi about Ogoni Women’s Activism: The Transnational Struggle for Justice against Big Oil and the State
