In this interview we speak with Yafeuh Balogun who wrote the book We Are Balogun: A Black Lives Matter Memoir (You can pick up a copy of the book from the publisher here: https://bookstore.dorrancepublishing.com/products/we-are-balogun-a-black-lives-matter-memoir ). Contributing writers for the book Eric Balogun and Kilaika Shakur also join the conversation.
The publishers website says of the book:
"We Are Balogun explores the organizing journey of Guerrilla Mainframe, co-founded by Yafeuh Balogun and Erick Khafre. The movement began in 2007 under the name People's Lunch Counter (PLC) in the Pleasant Grove neighborhood of Dallas, Texas. The name Guerrilla Mainframe was later conceived by Seidah Williams while riding on the freeway.
In the summer of 2014, in response to continued police brutality—especially the killing of Clinton Allen—Yafeuh Balogun, Rakem Balogun, and Babu Omowale co-founded the Huey P. Newton Gun Club to defend and empower the community."
