Description
In a 19 November 1974 letter written by a group of "Black and Chicano Prisoners," at Folsom State Prison, the authors congratulate Dymally on being elected as Lt. Governor, and adds that as Chicano and Black people first, as citizens of CA second, and as "convicts third," they stress that Dymally has been long considered a friend to the "convicted class," that has not gone unnoticed by incarcerated people.
