““There is an air to Attica that is toxic, and it seems to poison everyone who breathes it. The prison is a hate factory, and when you live here you feel it powerfully.” - William Blake, currently incarcerated inside of Attica. solitarywatch.org/2024/03/12/voi…

The day before Attica prison was seized, a seemingly small act—a soup can thrown at a guard—became a symbol of the brewing tensions and unrest that would erupt into the historic uprising. It foreshadowed the larger fight for dignity & justice that was about to unfold. #OnThisDay

#OnThisDay The Attica Uprising and subsequent massacre didn’t happen out of nowhere. It was fueled by repeated failures to address the men’s concerns, broken promises, and a total disregard for human lives, all of which escalated tensions.
