Supporters of the nation’s best known political prisoner filled Harlem’s “Raw Space” to celebrate his life and latest book, Have Black Lives Ever Mattered? The event featured Mumia Abu Jamal’s “favorite things,” his favorite colors, drinks and snacks, said historian Robyn Spencer, of the Campaign to Bring Mumia Home.

In an essay for Prison Radio, Abu Jamal gave high praise to Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor for her book, From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation. “Her critique of Black politicians shows they differ little from their white predecessors, except for their color,” he said.
