01 Aug 2017
🖨️ Print Article

Kevin “Rashid” Johnson has been bounced from prisons in Virginia, Oregon and Texas, and recently disappeared altogether, alarming his comrades in the New Afrikan Black Panther Party, which he co-founded. Johnson was finally located in a Florida prison, in solitary confinement. Florida prison officials have reportedly labeled the NABPP a “violent street organization.” Tito “Fist” Rivera, of the United Panthers Movement, told Black Agenda Radio producer Kyle Fraser: “Historically, whenever you are more than two people doing something that the system doesn’t want you doing, they consider that a gang.”
