Break the Censorship of Mumia Abu Jamal
Pigs murdered dozens of Black Panthers in the 1960s. Now they are out to execute former Panther Mumia Abu Jamal. With hundreds of thousands of political prisoners in their gulags, they know that this revolutionary leader is dangerous. And accomplished writer, activist and radio journalist, Mumia has raised the political consciousness of untold thousands of people around the world. The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections has responded to MumiaÕs effective work by refusing him permission to record commentaries like those he recorded in the early 1990s. This denies Mumia a valuable means of spreading his revolutionary analysis. On this page are Revolutionary Anti-Imperialist League (RAIL) recordings of recent articles by Mumia as well as stories about Mumia from the Under Lock and Key radio program.
