------------------------------------------------------------------------

Former Black Panther Sundiata Acoli has been reunited with his family
after serving nearly half a century in prison. Acoli is 85 years old and
suffers from dementia. Earlier this month, the New Jersey Supreme Court
ruled that Acoli is not a risk to public safety, paving the way for his
release.
