AU - Mumia Abu-Jamal
AB - <p>Called "the voice of the voiceless," award-winning journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal speaks with uncommon passion and clarity about the lives of African-Americans, the judicial system, and life behind bars. Jamal has been on death row since 1982, accused of the murder of a Philadelphia policeman. Many contend that he was imprisoned because of his political beliefs. Human Rights Watch gave him its 1995 award for writers under political persecution and Amnesty International has stated that the government "appears to have overtly used Mumia Abu-Jamal's past political beliefs and affiliations... to impose the death penalty." Mumia Abu-Jamal writes from an incredibly dark place with humanity, objectivity, and wit, carrying a mesage of hope and freedom.</p>
