A real loss indeed! -----Original Message----- From: Hunter Gray <[email protected]> To: Bear Without Borders <[email protected]> Cc: SycamoreCanyon <[email protected]>; marxist <[email protected]>; Redbadbear <[email protected]>; newgreencanada <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Feb 26, 2014 1:16 pm Subject: [BearwWthoutBorders] Chokwe Lumumba, mayor of Jackson, dies at 66 I learned of this yesterday afternoon. Chokwe Lumumba was a radical -- a practical radical who focused on tangible things in the context of an altruistic vision. He had already accomplished much even before he became mayor of Jackson, MIssissippi, last July -- and was poised to accomplish much more. The fight goes on. Here are two links: One is America Al Jazeera and the other is an excellent interview with Chokwe -- published last spring in Against the Current/Solidarity. http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/2/25/jackson-mayor-chokwelumumbadiesat66.html http://solidarity-us.org/site/node/3839 We will Keep Fighting.
