PHILADELPHIA
Mumia supporters at NAACP convention
Special to Workers World
On July 11, supporters of political prisoner and death row
inmate, Mumia Abu-Jamal, gathered at the site of the annual
NAACP convention in Philadelphia to do outreach to delegates on
Mumia's case. Many of the convention delegates had heard about
Mumia and many had not. Pam Africa from International Concerned
Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal (holding microphone)
spoke to leaders of the NAACP, including Kwesi Mfume, about
getting the civil rights organization more involved in the
struggle to free Mumia. She along with Attorney Michael Coard
spoke on a criminal justice panel during the convention on July
12.
