MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry Likens Guantanamo Detainees To Slaves
MELISSA HARRIS-PERRY: "I also appreciate that the hunger strikers are not trying to die. They’re trying to generate autonomy in the context of something that strips their humanity — something we certainly know about from the experience of American slavery, and that the language of ‘before I be a slave, I’d be buried in my grave and go home to my Lord and be free’ — just that idea of creating human freedom within the context of horrible human conditions."
