  A Message From Our Revolutionary Sistarr, NattyReb!!!
  

  Support our Sista in Struggle, Shiriki Unganisha

  Warm Greetings all,
  
  i'm shocked and deeply saddened to report that Eric Flowers, the only son of our beautiful and hard-working Sista in struggle, Shiriki Unganisha, was found slain on Saturday in Kansas City, MO. This Sista has completely dedicated her life to our people's struggle and regularly puts out liberation information via micro-radio, e-mail and every means available throughout her community. This Sista is so dedicated that she painted her house red, black and green and regularly hosted many young people there, in addition to all of her other community, political and journalistic work. Her organization, STAC (Stop Targetting the Afrikan Community) was bold and fearless and exposed many issues within the community that brought much-needed pressure to bear on the police and all others who bear us ill will. She worked closely with me many times on projects involving PP/POW's, particularly for Bro. Sundiata Acoli, whose support committee she once headed up and with whom she shares an extremely close bond.
  
  POW Bro. Sundiata Acoli writes:
  
  "Sis. Shiriki is a close comrade of mine who has shared many struggles with me, particularly duriing my stay at USP Leavenworth, where she was instrumental in organizing the KC Mo. community and region. She built much support for me and the prisoners in general at USP Leavenworth, and prisoners at the Ft. Leavenworth Disciplinary Barracks and the various Mo. State prisons and beyond. She is co-host of KCBLR micro-radio and hosted the initial conference in KC Mo. in the late '90s that months later founded the New Afrikan Liberation Front, presently headed by Herman and Iyaluaa Ferguson. Shiriki is a very strong sister who has given her all to our people's struggle for freedom, so send condolences to the sister at shiriki@sbcglobal.net ." She needs our love.
  
  Please send some support to our Sista, we must be there for one another in times like these!
