     Recently, a group of human rights researchers, responding to letters from Fayette prisoners, found a slew of environmental dangers and threats to the lives, health and well-being of hundreds of prisoners, guard and other staff members at the prison in Western Pennsylvania.
    The Abolitionist Law Center and the Human Rights Coalition, with the help of the Center for Coalfield Justice, […]

    War by Another Name


    [col. writ. 9/8/14] © ’14 Mumia Abu-Jamal
     With the rapid strikes and seizures of Iraqi territory by the Islamic State (commonly known as ISIS), the West, given a splendid pretext by the horrific decapitations of two journalists, is mounting a counter-attack, if only by war.
    So far, no Western state has yet announced the deployment of ground troops.
    Why are they there?
    They claim that ISIS is a […]

    LABOR DAZE

    [col. writ. 8/31/14] © ’14 Mumia Abu-Jamal
     What is Labor Day, 2014?
    A day like all other days, not in honor of workers, but in cruel irony of workers’ impotence and defeat.
    Celebrate Labor Day?  Yeah, sure.
    But attack unions; denigrate union organizing, while calling for wage cuts and deregulation. They are called lazy and incompetent and even Hollywood joins the fray with a recent movie.  Remember “Bad Teacher”?
    You […]

    The Meaning of Ferguson (Prison Radio)


    [col. writ. 8/31/14] © ’14 Mumia Abu-Jamal

    Before recent days, who among us had ever heard of Ferguson, Missouri?
    Because of what happened there, the brief but intense experience of state repression, its name will be transmitted by millions of Black mouths to millions of Black ears, and it will become a watchword for resistance, like Watts, like Newark, Harlem and L.A.
    But Ferguson wasn’t 60 years […]

     POST- FERGUSON
    [col. writ. 8/25/14] © ’14 Mumia Abu-Jamal
     As the body of Michael “Mike “- Brown is consigned to the earth, network newscasters and broadcasters are packing their gear, canceling their hotel rooms, and setting their sights on new wonders, new images and new stories.
    That the tragic saga in Ferguson struck national newscasters is both rare and unprecedented, given the length and depth of the […]

    The Real ‘Outside Agitators’

    [col. writ. 8/19/14] © ’14 Mumia Abu-Jamal
     As the days and nights of angry resistance rage on in Ferguson, Missouri, the corporate media embarks on its newest campaign: the proposed banning of “outside agitators”.
    It is ironic in the extreme to hear black reporters and black cops – and, indeed, black activists – launch verbal attacks against “outside agitators”, when, were it not for such protestors during […]

    Mumia on Ferguson: War and False Peace (Prison Radio)


    The scenes of the last few days in the town of Ferguson, Missouri, have pulled the covers off of how Blacks and cops interact in modern-day America.
    In words and deeds, it reveals a state of war, with both sides riddled with bone-chilling fear.
    For fear is ever-present in any war, no matter who is better armed.
    Fear is also irrational, and so strong that it powers […]

    (col. writ. 8/17/14) © ’14 Mumia Abu-Jamal
     For over a week, the media and millions of viewers and readers have been focused on the ever-changing events of Ferguson, Missouri, where a local teenager, Michael Brown, was shot to death by a white cop.
    What has been consistent, and un-changing, has been the level of outrage among Black Ferguson residents; men and women who have resisted every […]

    NIGHT OF PAIN – NIGHT OF RAGE + Prison Radio

    (col. writ. 8/11/14) © ’14 Mumia Abu-Jamal

    Once again, a Black unarmed youth has been killed by a cop.
    And while the facts surrounding the shooting are presently unclear, what is clear is that a cop shot 18 year old Michael Brown 8 times.
    According to at least one eyewitness, Brown was shot as he stood with his hands up in the air.
    To anyone who knows American […]
