The article discusses the book "Live From Death Row," by Mumia Abu-Jamal. On July 3, 1982, Mumia Abu-Jamal, radio journalist and MOVE supporter, much of whose reputation was built on criticizing the Philadelphia Police Department in the matter of race relations, was convicted of the first-degree murder of officer Daniel Faulkner. Amid intense public debate, National Public Radio canceled the broadcasts. Abu-Jamal, who denies killing Officer Faulkner, has become the object of a debate that reflects racial divides in the United States.
