THE BLACK MAN “HAD NO RIGHTS THAT THE WHITE MAN WAS BOUND TO RESPECT”
Chief Justice Taney, Dred Scott case, l857

“YEAH, AND I’M GOING TO HELP ‘EM FRY THE N****R”
Judge Albert Sabo speaking about Mumia Abu-Jamal,
l982


Another man, Arnold Beverly, has confessed to the murder for which Mumia was framed. But Mumia is still on Death Row! Now Pennsylvania Judge Dembe has literally ruled that Mumia is not entitled to an impartial judge and that Judge Sabo’s determination to “help ‘em fry the n****r” is no grounds for a new trial. THIS IS LYNCH LAW. As Mumia said, “They don’t just want my life. They want my silence.” There is no free speech in the US if you are a consistent critic of this government, black and a revolutionary.

COME DEMAND MUMIA’S FREEDOM NOW! PROTEST THE RE-IMPOSITION OF LYNCH LAW BY THE AMERICAN JUDICIARY!

Sign and circulate the new amicus (friend of the court) briefs proving Mumia’s innocence and showing that the Pennsylvania courts refusal to hear this evidence violates international human rights law.

RALLY & PRESS CONFERENCE!
TUESDAY, AUG. 27TH OAKLAND 5:00 P.M.
ALAMEDA CO. COURTHOUSE STEPS, 12TH & FALLON

Confirmed speakers:

David Hilliard, former Chief of Staff, Black Panther Party
Prof. Mel Mason, former BPP, Coalition to Free Mumia---Seaside/Monterey
Jack Heyman, ILWU Local 10 Business Agent
Jeff Mackler, Mobilization to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal
