Leon Benson’s first book publication, Letters of gratitude: I am because we are, released by Iskra Books, an independent scholarly publisher, has received critical acclaim from organizers, the justice-impacted, and academics alike.
You can get a copy from the Indy Liberation Store for shipping or pick-up or attend the official book launch, award ceremony, and party to get a copy autographed by Benson.
According to Colin Jenkins, the Founder and Chief Editor of the Hampton Institute, a working-class think tank:
“The overwhelming majority of prisoners in the U.S. are mostly victims of a class/race war perpetrated by the capitalist owning class through its system of unjust laws. Despite their widespread victimization and demonization, prisoners have long embraced a selfless and thoughtful yearning for redeeming humanity through liberation to demonstrate prison bars can’t hold the spirit. Leon Benson’s Letters of Gratitude is not only an inspiring read but a direct reflection of this embrace.”
