From Angola 3 Newsletter:
Angola inmate Kenny Zulu Whitmore, a close comrade of the Angola 3 is still fighting for his freedom.
In the past year he has seen his best friends Herman and Albert both transferred out of Angola to other prisons, and he has been moved to a tier on Death Row.
His network of supporters in the UK are now selling t-shirts (like the one featured in the photo to the right) as part of their fundraising campaign.

Kenny ‘Zulu’ Whitmore is a political prisoner at Angola Prison, Louisiana, USA and has been kept in solitary confinement for over 36 years.
Help support the growing campaign to see him a free man with buy buying one of THTC's organic hemp or organic cotton t-shirts, with part of the proceeds going directly to the Free Zulu campaign.
Zulu was first arrested on laughable charges in December 1973 and served time at Baton Rouge Prison, where he met Herman Wallace, who would go on to be a member of the Angola 3. Becoming fast friends with Herman Wallace, Zulu became a member of the Angola chapter of the Black Panthers in 1974.
Zulu was arrested again on February 19, 1975 and charged with two counts of armed robbery. However, in June of 1975, the charges of armed robbery against Zulu were dropped, with the victims clearly stating that Zulu was not the man that had robbed them. When asked to testify in an unrelated case and serve a short jail term after being imprecated in another from 1973, by then District Attorney Ossie Brown, Zulu refused.
He was promptly battered and beaten and in January 1977, was tried and found guilty of second degree murder and armed robbery of a former mayor. He was sentenced to life and 99 years in prison.
