Description:

Politics & Prose at Busboys and Poets, Brookland, presents Johanna Fernández to discuss the new book Writing on the Wall: Selected Prison Writings of Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Edited by Johanna Fernández, a Fulbright Scholar and Baruch College history professor, this collection of work by Mumia Abu-Jamal features more than a hundred previously unpublished essays by the activist and author of Live from Death Row and Death Blossoms—many written while Abu-Jamal was in solitary confinement. With topics ranging from Rosa Parks to Edward Snowden, the Trail of Tears to Ferguson, these pieces crackle with Abu-Jamal’s revolutionary perspective on community, power, politics, and social change. Fernández will be in conversation with Netfa Freeman, events coordinator for the Institute for Policy Studies’ Social Action & Leadership School for Activists.
