Nigel. What's up, D? We're back with a new season of Ear House.

Well, not quite yet, but very soon, my friend. Our new season kicks off on September 8th,

and we're going to be starting with a story of one of the most notorious days in San

Quentin's history. August sweet for every Monday and I remember

Q. August 21st, 1971. I don't know if I heard the shot first,

hard to whistle, and everybody had to get down, get down around it, everybody's trying to figure out

what was going on on the yard. So I go back in the back and I see the guards, some of them tied up

back there. I think they thought all of them were dead, but they weren't. If you walk, maybe 10 to

15 yards down the road, George Jackson was gunned down right about this area here.

By the end of the day, three correctional officers and three incarcerated people were dead.

We're going to go deep into what happened that day. Talking to people who were there and watched

it unfold. And those who are still living with the 50-year legacy. I said, how are you scared

that somebody's been dead for 40 or 50 years? I said, George Jackson must have been the most

powerful cat on earth for you to be so scared that somebody reads a paragraph that he wrote,

that you will neutralize that person forever. The world is not always welcoming to revolutionary

ideas. Most of the time it is, one has to do the work regardless of the conditions.

Sam, what do you think that 50 years later, the story still brings up so much emotion for

people? From the piece off the side, I don't think that we feel that justice has served.

George Jackson, 50 years later. And so much more coming up in season 8 of your hustle,

starting when are we? September 8th.
