Mumia Speaks
Mumia Abu Jamal is the former Black Panther unjustly convicted of killing a cop in Philadelphia. A journalist and outspoken advocate for the oppressed before and after his conviction, Mumia was sentenced to death. Since he has been on death row he has continued his incisive and insightful criticism and commentary of the criminal justice system and American condition in general. Mumia is a PLN reader and over the years has contributed articles to our pages. We recently reported that National Public Radio had dropped Mumia from its All Things Considered radio program after it had contracted to air his commentaries on the radio.
Now people don't have to wait on the corporate media to hear Mumia. He publishes a tabloid paper called The Jamal Journal: From Death Row This is Mumia Abu Jamal.

For those desiring more information and a clearer view of Mumia's life, struggle on behalf of the oppressed and the political context of his frame up and state sanctioned murder, C. Clark Kissinger has published his interview of Mumia in booklet format. Titled Mumia Abu Jamal: A Life of Resistance, the interviews took place on death row in Pennsylvania in 1994. The interview was originally published in the Revolutionary Worker.
