The Damned Don’t Cry

Description

Here, in riveting detail, Frank Chapman, sentenced at age 19 to be incarcerated for life plus 50 years, tells his story of struggles behind the walls of a Missouri prison. It’s a story of battles against segregation and racism, brutality and exploitation, but also of solidarity and the power of collective action. After an international campaign, led by the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (NAARPR), Chapman was eventually freed.

“…A riveting account of a prisoner’s unrelenting journey toward freedom.” – Angela Davis
