An ambitious and vast family history by the nephew of Soledad Brother author George Jackson and son of Black Panther martyr Jonathan Jackson, whose famous act of defiance redefined Black Power and American dissent in the early 1970s. In thirty-six minutes on a sweltering day in August 1970...

A collection of Jackson's letters from prison, Soledad Brother is an outspoken condemnation of the racism of white America and a powerful appraisal of the prison system that failed to break his spirit but eventually took his life. Jackson's letters make palpable the intense feelings of anger and rebellion that filled Black men in America's prisons in the 1960s. But even removed from the social and political firestorms of the 1960s, Jackson's story still resonates for its portrait of a man taking a stand even while locked down.
