Campaign to name a street in Harlem, N.Y.,
in honor of Mumia Abu-Jamal

A June 16 event for the Harlem Campaign to name a street in honor of Mumia Abu-Jamal was an exciting youth-oriented evening. Speakers focused on the struggle to free Mumia, police terror, the criminalization of youth and the gentrification of Harlem. Immortal Technique gave a powerful Hip Hop performance.

“Strong support for Mumia and the street naming campaign was clearly evident in the many statements the performers and the audience made. The program ended with a rousing statement from Pam Africa about the power of the people, and the demonstration of that power in the streets of Philadelphia on May 17th.”
