Throughout his 67 years of unjust captivity, Ruchell has been one of the first and most consistent prisoners linking mass incarceration and the U.S. prison system to slavery.Ruchell Magee took the name Cinque from the enslaved African Sengbe Pieh, who led an 1839 rebellion to commandeer the slave ship La Amistad, arguing that Africans have the right to resist “unlawful” slavery.
Ruchell maintained that Black people in the U.S. have the right to resist this new form of slavery, which is part of the colonial control of Black people in this country:
“Slavery 400 years ago, slavery today. It’s the same but with a new name.”
“My fight is to expose the entire system, judicial and prison system, a system of slavery … This cause will benefit not just to myself but to all those who at this time are being criminally oppressed or enslaved by this system.”
