Talk:Soledad Brothers

Discussion
Created initial page here referencing George Jackson. It is only a stub for now. If someone would like to expand it that would be great. Neilgg42 01:46, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Inconsistency
"On August 3, 1970 the Marin County Civic Center, which houses the Marin County Superior Court, was the scene of an assault by a group of African-American political activists led by Jonathan Jackson, the 17-year old brother of Black Panther militant George Jackson, demanding the release of the "Soledad Brothers". The group released several prisoners in the courtroom and took a number of hostages including the presiding judge, Harold Haley. A shotgun was taped to the judge's neck. While they were attempting to escape, Haley and prisoners William Christmas, James McClain, and Jonathan Jackson were killed as they attempted to drive away from the courthouse."

According to the wiki article on George Jackson, Jonathan acted alone in storming the courtroom - which is correct?

The final sentence is in error, as it describes Jonathan as one of the prisoners, which he was not.Irish Melkite (talk) 08:55, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
