Summary

Here are the radio commentaries, the last of them recorded just two days before Pennsylvania prison authorities instituted a media ban to further silence the most famous death row prisoner in the US. To hear his voice is to understand why the State is going to such extremes to silence him. Included are an NPR commentary by the late, great William Kunstler-also banned by NPR-and brief statements or readings of Mumia's work by Alice Walker, Dorothy Allison, Robert Meeropol, Howard Zinn, Sister Helen Prejean, and Judi Bari.

Author Biography

MUMIA ABU-JAMAL is an award-winning journalist and best-selling author. In 1981 he was elected president of the Association of Black Journalists (Philadelphia chapter). His 1982 murder trial and subsequent conviction has raised considerable controversy and criticism for alleged constitutional violations and other improprieties. In spite of his almost two-decade long imprisonment on Death Row, Abu-Jamal has fought for his freedom and for his profession.
