I was born in May of 1978 in New Orleans, not too far from segregation, the civil rights movement, the FBI'S Counter-Intelligence-Program and the assassinations of Minister Malcolm X, Dr Martin Luther King Jr., and Black Panther Party spokesman for Self-Defense, Fred Hampton. The 1970s prison boom was in effect. Deindustrialization, the flight of jobs, family breakdown, violent crime, and community decay was on the rise. It was the time of the Iran Contra Affair(Google it) and the international smuggling of high powered machine guns and cocaine across America's borders and into American communities. The cocaine turned into crack in the late 70s in South American countries and in the early 80s in the United States.
Unfortunately, the crack entered my family's home in the form of addiction and destroyed my family. I grew up very early with the influence of drug-trafficking, smoking weed, gangster rap, drinking alcohol, substance abuse, and living desperately. I was arrested twice for shoplifting. Then next was possession of crack cocaine. Next was a 38 revolver. After that, and unfortunately, the killing of my best friend which a reasonable observer can conclude stem from a mental health disorder linked to economic deprivation. (See manuscript to read my full story at www.humanfaces.org.)
All of this didn't dawn on me until years later in the early 2000s when I was in solitary confinement in Camp J at Angola, Louisiana State Penitentiary. I was locked in a six by nine (6×9) cell for 24 hours a day for over 15 years as disciplinary punishment for refusing to pick the crop in the fields. There were guys alongside of me in the cells and at times there were peace, at other times there was total madness. Throwing feces. Loud noise. Guards use of tear gas. No mental health care. No rehabilitation programming. Just locked in a box covered up so that no one could hear or see what was going on but the guards and the inmates in the immediate housing area.
There was always someone around who would talk about the injustice in the conditions we were living in. I initially heard dudes talk about the black panthers. Later, I read about Nat Turner. Denmark Vessey. Henry Highland Garnet. David Walker. Harriet Tubman. Frederick Douglas. Abraham Lincoln. The Emancipation Proclamation. The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands. The assassination of president Lincoln and the 13th Amendment's slavery exception clause, Black Codes, lynching, the peonage of sharecropping, segregation, wage slavery and the labor strikes, the Oklahoma City Massacre, and similar anti-black racism and human rights violations that continues to this day.
I kept reading until I began to see myself born in a protracted struggle for human liberation. Today I see myself as an anti-slavery and human rights revolutionary and freedom fighter. I am founder of Afrikan Americans Freedom Union® (AAFU), a 501 (c) (3) tax exempt nonprofit corporation that advocates for liberty and human rights for all human beings, but which has a special focus on recovery from the impact of hundred of years of enslavement and Jim Crow on the lives of Afrikan Americans in history and today. I am also co-founder of the Human Faces Campaign Project: Breaking The Cycle Of Mass Incarceration.
I am preparing to go to court soon in Orleans Parish to tell my story and you are welcome to come out and show support. Contact me at humanfaces@gmail.com or at 785-640-4255 for more details. Also, I am preparing for reentry into society after approximately three decades of incarceration and plan to use AAFU to advocate for economic and civil assistance and humanitarian aid for oppressed people. Contact me at aafreedomunion@gmail or at 785-640-4255 if you would like to volunteer and help AAFU accomplish its mission. See afrikanamericansunion.org.

Hello to everyone and May God Bless You. My name is Darren E Kenny, I am a 60 year old man serving a 23 year sentence for aggravated burglary. I have been incarcerated for over 10 years and I have involved myself in all of the rehabilitative programs that are being offered in Elayn Hunts Correctional Center. I accept responsibility for the wrongs that I have committed. And I have now evolved from a caterpillar or (uncivilized human)into a butterfly or (moral human). I can honestly say that I am not the same 49 years old drug addict that committed this crime. I now see and feel the change within me, and I prove it to myself by staying positive on a daily basis. Presently, I am in need of a criminal lawyer. An Attorney who would file a Louisiana Criminal Code of Procedure, 930.3 petition on my behalf. I’ve lost so many love ones since my incarceration. As well as, one of my most closest of supporters in my life being my brother who is on the above picture with me.
In closing, I want to thank the entire Believers Emancipating Believer’s organizational staff members for believing in my reformation and giving me a platform to be heard. Sincerely Yours, Brother Mr. Darrin Kenny #103498

While incarcerated, I used to always stand up for prisoners’ human rights and promote respect, unity,
and love. I was released from prison as a man on a mission to promote a great cause on behalf of
incarcerated reformed children, women, and men. So, I launched a non-profit with some family and
great friends called, “Believers Emancipating Believers” of Louisiana.
My hobbies are reading, fishing, and mentoring our youth of all ages.

Dwight Twin Leblanc was born and raised in the Lower 9th Ward area of New Orleans,La. In 1998, I would be charged with a felony crime by the New Orleans police department with no 911 call, no witnesses,camera nor recording device and sentenced to a total of 11 yrs behind bars. While incarcerated, I would learn several skills such as horticulture, electrical, troubleshooting and building PCs to which I would be awarded certifications. In 2004, I would travel to the parole board of Louisiana and install their first TV monitor so that all future pardon and parole hearing could be had to this very day. In 2012, I would be nominated as a Hero of the month in the city of New Orleans, by the Times-Picayune's newspaper for creating a program to help employ newly released prisoners. Currently, I work as a Project manager doing IT work contracting inside of some of the world's largest networks of hospitals.I have a knack for reaching men,women and kids who don't understand how valued they are to our world.
