What exactly is Mumia Abu-Jamal? I know he's a political prisoner or something and Anti-Flag used to sing about him. But what were you listening to?

Some of his spoken word from death row.

He was a Philadelphia journalist who wrote some of the first stories of large-scale police corruption. He was convicted of shooting a police officer, even though there were a few witnesses claiming that it was not him (you can make your own decision regarding his guilt, but from what I've read, it seems as if there's more evidence to say that he was innocent). He was convicted in front of one of the most notoriously unfair judges ever, who had, at this time, served more death sentences than any other judge currently "in the business." He sat on death row for years and years, all the while with thousands of people protesting the case, and calling for his release. Eventually he was taken off death row and as it currently stands, is serving life in prison.

The F.O.P. (Fraternal Order of Police) placed a boycott on all of his writings, and Mumia's story is pretty much the basis of the Erik Petersen song "Boycott Me!"

I hope that's right. That's all I remembered.

Skavid could I get some of those mp3's or whateveR?
