All Things Censored (non-fiction book)

by Mumia Abu Jamal

This book is the published version of short journals by Mumia Abu Jamal that were supposed to be aired on NPR's "All Things Considered". When some sponsors who were offended by the material threatened to stop their money donations, the show was canceled. So much for all things considered. The essays are extremely critical of Americas racial predigests and treatment of the poor. The author Mumia Abu Jamal is currently on Death Row for the murder of a police officer. Jamal claims he is innocent and was framed due to the content of his essays and spoken word.
