December 9th marks the 29th anniversary* of the incarceration of award-winning prison journalist Mumia Abu Jamal. He was arrested in the early morning hours of December 9th 1981 for the shooting death of Philadelphia Police officer Daniel Faulkner. Mumia was seriously wounded by a gunshot wound to his chest that night as well. Since then, Mumia has been a resident of Pennsylvania\u2019s death row for twenty-nine years. His 1982-murder trial and subsequent conviction have been the subject of great debate. Mumia Abu Jamal has repeatedly proclaimed his innocence. He is a prolific essayist and writes weekly commentaries on local, national and world affairs, many of which you’ve heard here on Uprising. Writing from his solitary confinement cell his essays have reached a worldwide audience. His books “Live From Death Row”, “Death Blossoms”, “All Things Censored”, \u201cFaith of Our Fathers\u201d, \u201cWe Want Freedom\u201d, and “Jailhouse Lawyers”, have been translated into seven languages. <\/p>\n
