"Writing from the barren confines of his death row cell, Mumia
Abu-Jamal provides a remarkable testament about the Black Panther
Party. . . .an amazing book that illuminates the truth of what his
membership in the Party was about, and reveals the extreme price
extracted from him for having learned, and for now telling the
truth." -Kathleen Cleaver, from the Introduction Mumia Abu Jamal,
America's most famous political prisoner, is internationally known
for his radio broadcasts and books emerging "Live from Death Row."
In his youth Mumia Abu-Jamal helped found the Philadelphia branch
of the Black Panther Party, wrote for the national newspaper, and
began his life-long work of exposing the violence of the state as
it manifests in entrenched poverty, endemic racism, and unending
police brutality. In We Want Freedom, Mumia combines his memories
of day-to-day life in the Party with analysis of the history of
Black liberation struggles. The result is a vivid and compelling
picture of the Black Panther Party and its legacy. Applying his
poetic voice and unsparing critical gaze, Mumia examines one of the
most revolutionary and most misrepresented groups in the US. As the
calls that Black Lives Matter continue to grow louder, Mumia
connects the historic dots in this revised/updated edition,
observing that the Panthers had legal observers to monitor the
police and demanded the "immediate end to police brutality and the
murder of Black people." By focusing on the men and women who were
the Party, as much as on the leadership; by locating the Black
Panthers in a struggle centuries old-and in the personal memories
of a young man-Mumia Abu-Jamal helps us to understand freedom.
