Save Mumia's Eyesight: Supporters March to Prison to Demand Medical Care for Him & Aging Prisoners

Supporters of Mumia Abu-Jamal are on a 103-mile, 12-day march ending Tuesday in Frackville, Pennsylvania, where he is imprisoned at the Mahanoy state prison. The march ends on the same day Abu-Jamal was arrested in 1981 for the murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner, for which he has always maintained his innocence. One of the best-known political prisoners in the world, Abu-Jamal was an award-winning journalist and co-founder of the Philadelphia chapter of the Black Panther Party before his incarceration, and has continued to write and speak from prison. Human rights groups say he was denied a fair trial, with evidence unearthed in 2019 showing judicial bias and police and prosecutorial misconduct. Abu-Jamal is now 71 years old, and advocates say he is being denied proper medical care in prison, permanently risking his eyesight. “We’re marching today to demand freedom for Mumia and all political prisoners,” says activist Larry Hamm. “We ration healthcare in this country, and in particular for prisoners,” says Noelle Hanrahan, part of Abu-Jamal’s legal team, who is demanding “that Mumia get specialist care … and that he is given the treatment that he deserves.”

"Honor Our History": Trump Slammed for Ending Free National Park Entry on Juneteenth & MLK Day

The Trump administration is facing backlash after ending free admission at national parks on the only two federal holidays honoring Black history — Juneteenth and Martin Luther King Jr. Day — while adding free entry on President Trump’s birthday, June 14. The Interior Department also announced higher entry fees for non-U.S. residents under what it calls “America-first entry fee policies.” Denigrating Black history “can’t erase the truth,” says Carolyn Finney, who served on the National Parks Advisory Board during the Obama administration. “It’s not going to change how we feel, not just as Black Americans, but Americans in general, about honoring our history.” We also speak with Audrey Peterman, author of Our True Nature: Finding a Zest for Life in the National Park System, who says “the entire history of America, the entire history of every racial and ethnic group in America, is in the national park system.”
