“This collection will give scholars a rare chance to peer inside prison walls and understand how incarcerated people live, think and advocate for themselves,” said Kenvi Phillips, director of library diversity, equity, and inclusion at Brown. “This world-renowned imprisoned journalist and veteran Black Panther had endured 28½ years on death row before a federal court ruled his death sentence unconstitutional,” Fernández said in a release. “His is one distinct voice that, like more than 2 million nameless others, must be studied by future generations that wish to wrap their heads around the Goliath that is America’s prison industrial complex.”Pa.
