Censorship in Alabama resumes

As you are aware, MIM Theory 8&14 were recently denied entry into Limestone prison. This was after I was informed that the ban on MIM literature was lifted. This was done after I had received information from an attorney with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) who had taken on the case against censorship of political publication. The SPLC attorney wrote to the attorney general notifying him that prison officials was censoring political publications in violation of the settlement in Prison News vs. Haley, a settlement involving the censorship of political and legal publications. The attorney general notified that this practice would cease and that there would be no more problems in receiving MIM Theory and other political publications. But prison officials are continuing to censor MIM Theory and other political publications that's critical of the U.$. political system. I've been told that no communist literature will be allowed. So, you can be assured that the struggle continues and will do so until victory. The SPLC is filing papers to go back to court on this issue. In the meanwhile, please re-add my name to you mailing list for MIM Notes. Again, the struggle continues without doubt.
