Title:
In Prison

Details:
No country in the world locks up more of its citizens than the United States of America. Nearly half of the 2.2 million prisoners are African Americans - which equals four times the actual black population percentage. One out of eight African American men and 35 is in prison A circumstance which has serious effects upon African American society and culture - and not at last upon the topics of its music. When Angela Davis draws a historical line from slavery to the American justice and prison system of today it was black popular music that always mirrored the experience of racial discrimination and degradation as well as fierce resistance and the will to survive. From the work songs of the chain gangs to the wails of imprisoned bluesmen like Robert Pete Williams from the prison-soul of the Escorts to the enraged HipHop-accusations of Tupac Shakur ("16 on Death Row") Brand Nubian ("Criminal Minded") or K-Solo ("Premonition Of A Black Prisoner").
