Mumia first became involved with Black Nationalism when he was 14, as a founding member of the the Black Panther Party in Philly. During the seventies and eighties, he wrote extensively to uncover brutaility and corruption by city officials.

In 1981, driving his taxi, he interrupted a cop beating his brother. A struggle ensued, Mumia and the cop were both shot, the cop fatally.

Before, during, and after this event, police displayed extreme animosity and prejudice towards this rabble-rousing author. There is no doubt they have it in for this guy.

He tells a powerful, important story, after the anti-system rhetoric. Extremely compelling.
