For the most archival material on the #94CrimeBill and college-in-prison, check out the terrific, old documentary film “The Last Graduation.” vimeo.com/ondemand/lastg…
For the most comprehensive history of college-in-prison, check out our @maxkenner ’s recent chapter - “The Long History of College-in-Prison” in the volume "Education for Liberation."
To learn some of just how long that history is, check out BPI’s Jed Tucker’s incredible article in the Journal of African American History on Malcolm X’s time in prison: Malcolm X, the Prison Years: The Relentless Pursuit of Formal Education (sub required).
And, to remember what this all means, please watch or rewatch the extraordinary #CollegeBehindBars, from PBS and our friends @lynnnovick, @sarahbotstein and @kenburns. Streaming on #netflix, #PBS and Amazon Prime. bpi.bard.edu/college-behind…
