But even removed from the social and political firestorms of the 1960s, Jackson's story still resonates for its portrait of a man taking a stand even while locked down.Jackson, Jonathan, Jr. is the author of 'Soledad Brother The Prison Letters of George Jackson', published 1994 under ISBN 9781556522307 and ISBN 1556522304.
