Harlem Rally for Mumia Abu-Jamal Today (Saturday, April 23)

[As I understand the circumstances a car with Mumia and his brother was stopped late at night by Philadelphia police who shot Mumia's brother. Mumia shot back and killed a policeman and was thereafter sentenced to death. He is a political activist who posts columns (was a journalist) from his death row cell. Given the life sentence recently for the right wing European roots bomber who killed two while bombing an abortion clinic, a gay club, and a crowd, Mumia's sentence in a far more complicated legal situation, balancing rights of self-defense against murder charges, looks to be an all too typical racist miscarriage of American justice.

"When a cause comes along and you know in your bones that it is just,
yet refuse to defend it--at that moment you begin to die. And I have
never seen so many corpses walking around talking about justice."
