Albert Woodfox was born #OTD in 1947. While jailed in NYC, he was introduced to the Black Panthers. After he was moved to the notorious Angola Prison, he joined up with other Black Panthers to fight for prisoners’ rights and education. The state responded with 43 years of solitary confinement, but he heroically remained unbroken and was freed during the last years of his life.
