This episode needs NO lengthy text support. Ajamu Baraka, Jill Stein’s running mate in the 2016 Presidential Elections, has one of the most insightful, penetrating minds you should be glad you don’t have to square off against. His decades-long, unbroken track record of commitment to a truly progressive vision is a testament both to his principled activism and his personal investment in the ideals of human value.
In addition to his personal website, he can be found at the Black Alliance for Peace, where he is the National Organizer and Spokesperson.
We mentioned that his writing can be found at Dissident Voice, Black Commentator, Common Dreams, CounterPunch, and the Black Agenda Report.
