The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 6th study session on Evelyn Williams's Inadmissible Evidence: The Story of the African-American Trial Lawyer Who Defended The Black Liberation Army. We read our 4th biography of the year in recognition of the recent passing of Assata Shakur. The Katherine Massey Book Club read Assata's autobiography a decade earlier, where she reveals extraordinary details about her childhood and what led to her becoming an attempted counter-racist and member of the Black Liberation Army. Williams is Shakur's aunt and has her own fascinating experiences with the System of White Supremacy. Last week, Williams details being found in contempt and forced to served nearly two weeks in greater confinement. Too the dismay and fear of the prison staff, Williams took extensive notes of the prison abuse she observed and read non-fiction books during her confinement. The guards denied her access to clothes, toilet tissue and even water, but they allowed her plentiful access to cigarettes. Once done with her sentence, Williams attempted to contact do-gooder White attorney Robert Bloom to coordinate their defense strategy. Bloom had failed to respond to all of her previous inquires. When she attempted to speak with him at court, a black guard strangled and arrested her. The charges were easily dismissed, but it furthered her suspicions about Bloom's involvement in Assata's case. The White lawyer eventually admitted that his black male client had been pressured to testify against Assata for more lenient sentencing. Bloom refused to testify to all this in a court of law and under oath. #PrisonBreak INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
