Attica Prison Riot and Massacre of 1971

The 1971 Attica prison riot resulted in a massacre of inmates and guards and drew in the Black Panthers and President Nixon

Over a four day period in September 1971, the Attica maximum security prison in New York state exploded into rioting that left 29 inmates and 10 prison officers dead. A shocking landmark in the history of American prisons sparked by brutal conditions inside and rampant racism. Everybody knew that Attica was hell on earth. A “correctional facility” with a very high African American and Hispanic…

How tall are your sims?

I was tagged by @holocene-sims to show off my sims' height comparison using this website 👀

Here's the main Bachelorette-adjecent sims! Including Attica Riot so you can see how much ridiculous height Atticus gains with heels, hair, and glamour.

And here's SPIT! Pixie, Esther, and Ko usually gain 2-5 inches because of boots/platforms though.

I'll tag @m0ckest @bibliosims @hauntedtrait @alltimefail-sims @99simproblems @wildmeadowsims

#being in between atticus and attica riot is truly ryans dream lmao

click the header to see the entire photoset, which explains what happened on which days and why.

One of the many guards beaten by inmates on the first day of the riots is loaded into an ambulance by New York State Police troopers and local police.This is a part of americas bloody history that they want to quietly disappear.

AMERICA YOU DID THIS..

Inmates raise their fists in solidarity while one of their leaders speaks with Commissioner of Corrections Russell Oswald on September 10, 1971.

A debris-riddled corridor in one of the four Attica cell blocks is littered with shattered glass and broken equipment on the second day of the riot.

Black Panther Party co-founder Bobby Seale (second from left) arriving at the Greater Buffalo International Airport on September 11, 1971. After meeting with Attica inmates, he proposed accepting the deal put forth by the Commissioner of Corrections — which would have granted the prisoners 28 of their 33 demands.

Heavily armed authorities position themselves on a platform overlooking Attica's D Yard — which had become the main stronghold of the 1,281 rioting inmates.

Inmates had drawn up a manifesto listing 33 demands, from better living conditions to amnesty for the uprising. They elected five prisoners to serve as leaders with negotiating powers, while many others were instructed to work as security or medics. Here, they express solidarity during the negotiation process.

This makeshift hospital station was one of the internal services that prisoners set up during the riot. These services would be widely documented by journalists who were invited into the prison to oversee the uprising.

Inmates barricading themselves in one of the corridors leading to cell block D on September 10, 1971. They had just finished discussions with correctional officers regarding the terms of their impending negotiations. The figure in black standing in the center was one of the television cameramen that inmates allowed into the prison to document events.

National Guardsmen donning gas masks as they prepare to storm the facility on September 13, 1971. Protected from the tear gas that had been delivered via helicopter, they would brazenly open fire on both inmates and hostages in the yard.

One of the military helicopters flying over the prison's D Yard to deploy tear gas. Moments later, hundreds of troops, officers, and guards would storm the prison, firing off rounds with abandon — and killing 10 of their own men in the process.

The immediate aftermath of the riots saw inmates stripped of their clothes and forced to stand with their hands above their heads. A week after the riot had ended, inmates were allegedly beaten by the guards. The McKay Commission used this image during their four-day hearings on the fiasco

The charred hat of an Attica prison guard — and a bullet hole in the railing enclosing the D Yard.

I’m sorry please don’t be mad, who is wren?

Lol I'm not mad at all! Thank you for asking! I have a million OCs and I don't expect anyone to keep up with all of them! 😅

Wren is an OC I created to compete in The Familiar over on @mangosimoothie's page. If you're not reading it you absolutely should because 1) Mango's vampire lovers Atticus and Ryan are incredible they are the moment they are everything to me. 2) Wren is in it, lol. But seriously all the contestants bring something unique and saucy to the table - so many subplots, motivations, personalities... you will get pulled in. 3) It's a nice and much needed break from the a-typical Bachelor/Bachelorette challenge that we see on simblr all the time.

But yeah anything I make about Wren can be found on my page under the tag oc: wren. I also always reblog and tag The Familiar posts by name.

#honestly go follow Mango read all of their Atticus/Attica Riot content and read SPIT too #I love Wren they are so dear to my heart. I have lots of OCs but Wren is one of my favorites ❤#But they aren't in my Strangerville story just to clarify 😂 those OCs are in a league all their own #thank you for this ask!#atfs ask #anon

The Attica Prison’s inmate-led riot turns the prison into a democracy

Attica was a pot simmering and waiting to boil over for decades. finally on 9/9/71 it happened. Nelson Rockerfeller and the new york state troopers caused a situation that became unforgettable in american history. the massacre all occured because they refused to bargain with the prisoners, on human rights within the institution.

This is why the 13 amendment must be included in the Badges of Slavery or there can be no repair thru Reparations.

Miss Major Speaks: Conversations with a Black Trans Revolutionary by Miss Major Griffin-Gracy and Toshio Meronek

The future of Black, queer, and trans liberation explored by a legendary transgender elder and activist

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy is a veteran of the infamous Stonewall Riots, a former sex worker, and a transgender elder and activist who has survived Bellevue psychiatric hospital, Attica Prison, the HIV/AIDS crisis and a world that white supremacy has built. She has shared tips with other sex workers in the nascent drag ball scene of the late 1960s, and helped found one of America’s first needle exchange clinics from the back of her van.

Miss Major Speaks is both document of her brilliant life–told with intimacy, warmth and an undeniable levity-and a roadmap for the challenges black, brown, queer and trans youth will face on the path to liberation today.

Her incredible story of a life lived and a world survived becomes a conduit for larger questions about the riddle of collective liberation. For a younger generation, she warns about the traps of ‘representation,’ the politics of 'self-care,' and the frequent dead-ends of non-profit organizing; for all of us, she is a strike against those who would erase these histories of struggle.

Miss Major offers something that cannot be found elsewhere: an affirmation that our vision for freedom can and must be more expansive than those on offer by mainstream institutions.
