Sundiata Acoli is a true hero, one of many demonized and shut up in these prisons by an antiquated corrupt system, that even as the rest of the nation, and the world, evolves to a higher consciousness, continues to carry out the vendettas of its past.

When the final tabulation is made, men like Sundiata Acoli will be revered and celebrated in the history books, unsung heroes of the civil rights era, for without whom there would be no Oprah, no Jay-Z, no Barack or Sotomayor.

But we can´t wait for the history books, this beautiful brotha needs our help now.

Great information! Sundiata Acoli has been tormented for 36+ years because of his political beliefs, something which the U.S. claims to abhor overseas but hypocritically practices right here on these shores. He is a model prisoner and has done more than enough time to be granted release on parole. Thanks so much for this article.

How about using the word THROW instead of THROUGH for starts genius? (Beginning of third paragraph) This man should be executed. The only hate in my heart comes anti-american terrorist apologists who make excuses for killers. You must think the Taliban are “Freedom Fighters “and not terrorists either!

Wow, you guys are really miserable souls but entitled to your opinion, no matter how twisted it may be.

Sundiata was actually a brillant mathematician, which is why NASA hired him as a computer programmer. He spent many years of his time in solitary confinement, a cell human rights advocates deemed not fit for a german shepard dog.

You cannot through that word terrorist around whenever it suits your liking. Sundiata is no terrorist and at 72 years of age, what threat to public safety could he possibily be to anyone? That is basis for a parole board to make their decision. Not revenge or retribution.

The judge sentenced Sundiata to life with the possibility of parole. He has served his time. No one has the right to extend his sentence to death. If you are such a proud American you should be aware of the Constitution’s amendment about cruel and unusual punishment. The families of those who lose loved ones will hurt for certain but if that was the basis for freedom or imprisonment, no prisoner convicted of murder would ever be freed. What ignorant, uniformed, hate-filled statements from you all.

36 years IS enough. Sundiata must be set free. There is no LEGAL reason to deny him. (note the period)

What kind of a sick twisted mind do you have to write an article where a murderer is made out to be a good citizen because he helped organize voters with the black panthers? That is what this article implies.
“He left a promising career with NASA? really? Doing what ? Cleaning the bathrooms and mopping the floor? Give me a break. This man deserves a slow death in jail!
