Monday, May 8, 2017: Activist & former political prisoner Bo Brown

This week on KPFA Women's Magazine, we talk with Bo (Rita D.) Brown, who spent eight years in prison for her work as part of the revolutionary George Jackson Brigade.  A white working-class butch from rural Oregon, Brown was known as the "Gentleman Bank Robber," for a number of years in Seattle.  In this interview with Kate Raphael, she talks about coming out, becoming politicized and her relationship with Black Panther Assata Shakur. Bo Brown is now dealing with Lewy-Body dementia; a benefit for her expenses will be held on May 13 in Oakland.  (If you can't make it but want to contribute, you can do so here.)
