This image depicts the West African Sankofa Bird, reaching backwards for the seed of hope. This symbolizes the acknowledgement of our past, while striving to sow a better future. The Sankofa Bird is the official logo of the Black Prisoners Caucus.

The Black Prisoners Caucus at the Washington State Penitentiary (BPC-WSP) publishes The Sankofa Migration on a monthly basis. We regularly print poetry and art from this publication, but we want to have all of the Sankofa issues in one place.

The BPC leadership would also like to invite you to write to them! You can email sankofa.migration@gmail.com or message them on Instagram @the_sankofa_migration.
