Sunday Youtube Post

This guy is Mumia Abu-Jamal. In 1981 he was convicted of murdering a police officer. He was an activist, journalist, and until 1970, he was a member of the Black Panther Party. He's extremely controversial. People debate about whether or not he received a fair trial, or whether or not he's even guilty. Personally, I'm on the fence. You can do some google research about the whole thing if you want, but as far as I'm concerned, it's all a matter of someone's word over someone else's, and I don't think we can ever know. He's a pretty bright guy regardless, and he's been doing this "Prison Radio" thing for a number of years.







Saïd from Oz, anyone?
