"A rare and courageous voice speaking from a place we fear to
know: Mumia Abu-Jamal must be heard." --Alice Walker
"Resonates with the moral force of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s
Letter From Birmingham Jail." -Boston Globe
After twenty years on death row, Mumia Abu-Jamal was released from
his death sentence . . . but not the conviction. This once prominent
radio reporter was convicted for the murder of Philadelphia police
officer Daniel Faulkner in 1982, after a trial many have criticized
as profoundly biased. Live from Death Row is a collection of
his prison writings--an impassioned yet unflinching account of the
brutalities and humiliations of prison life, and a scathing
indictment of racism and political bias in the American judicial
system.
