At the Fillmore Jazz Festival, San Francisco's controversial Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, stopped by Academy of da Corner and was given a copy of Marvin's pamphlet The Mythology of Pussy and Dick. We understand the Sheriff has reconciled with his wife after an alleged bout of domestic violence. Marvin X would like to visit the jails to speak with the brothers and sisters, especially those accused of partner violence. "Nobody owns nobody, we are not chattel (personal property), that ended with the emancipation proclamation. We are spiritual beings in human form. We belong to God (Allah) and no one else. God is in us and we are in God. Our life and death are for God, thus no woman or man can dominate us. Our partners are free spiritual beings in human form. They are free to come and free to leave, if they desire. We cannot put them in our private jails and prisons, beat them unmercifully, treating the worse than we treat a dog, especially the mothers of our children, yes, the women who feed us and wash our dirty drawers!"
