Brown University acquires large collection of Mumia Abu-Jamal’s writing, artwork, and other materials

An Ivy League university has acquired a large collection of writing, artwork, and records from Mumia Abu-Jamal, who was convicted of killing a Philadelphia police officer in 1981.of 60 boxes of materials from Abu-Jamal that span from 1981, when he was arrested in the shooting death of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner, to 2020.

“This collection will give scholars a rare chance to peer inside prison walls and understand how incarcerated people live, think and advocate for themselves,” said Kenvi Phillips, director of library diversity, equity, and inclusion at Brown. “This world-renowned imprisoned journalist and veteran Black Panther had endured 28½ years on death row before a federal court ruled his death sentence unconstitutional,” Fernández said in a release. “His is one distinct voice that, like more than 2 million nameless others, must be studied by future generations that wish to wrap their heads around the Goliath that is America’s prison industrial complex.”Pa.

Oh dear. Are you for real

Where will the collection of Tommy Faulkner’s writings be housed? Oh wait, he was murdered and didn’t have a change to create any.

This is an institution rooted in SLAVERY of AMERICAN FREEDMEN! They do not have a moral ground/monetary standing to own ANYTHING associated with Mumia Abu Jamal! RadicalFreedmenTradition ReturnOfTheLoud TubmanLedUs

Cringe

Do you defend cop killers too, or just virulent antisemites?

So, BrownUniversity got a bunch of crap written by a cop killer…why, exactly?

What's next, the Ira Einhorn Archives?

Well that’s the last dollar I’ll ever donate to my alma mater BrownUniversity .

OK. Writing and artwork might give insight into his incarceration. Or into his being a convicted murderer. I'll grant you that. But a pair of his old reading glasses?! WHY? That introduces him with some odd status. Don't you think?
