Marilyn Buck with Kwame Ture (formerly Stokely Carmichael) at Dublin FCI, 1994.
In my haste to criticize the traditional white left, I must always remember the white left who have taken the uncompromising stance of solidarity with the masses of colonized people around the world. Marilyn Buck was such a person who took that stance. She died on August 3, 2010 at the age of 62, after being released the previous few weeks ago after serving 25 years out an eighty year prison sentence for politically motivated incidents, including the liberation of Sister Assata Shakur. We will always remember you Marilyn and we will walk with your collective spirit always by putting your work into practice. Uhuru!
