Live from Death Row by Mumia Abu-Jamal || Books on Political Prisoners in America || Social Injustice and Reform Book Series

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.

"A rare and courageous voice speaking from a place we fear to know: Mumia Abu-Jamal must be heard."
- Alice Walker

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.

"Resonates with the moral force of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Letter From Birmingham Jail."
- Boston Globe

Live from Death Row, published in May 1995, is a memoir by Mumia Abu-Jamal, an American journalist and activist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
