On April 24, 2009, from 6-10 pm, at The Church of the Advocate (1801 W Diamond St.) in Philadelphia, a "More Than A Book Party" event will he held simultaneously with similar events around the US, marking the release of death-row journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal's new book Jailhouse Lawyers: Prisoners Defending Prisoners v. the U.S.A published by City Lights Books. In Mumia's words, "This is the story of law learned, not in the ivory towers of multi-billion-dollar endowed universities, but in the bowels of the slave-ship, in the hidden, dank dungeons of America."
Solidarity events will be held in the US around April 24, to mark Mumia's birthday and the release of Jailhouse Lawyers. **Read the foreword by former political prisoner Angela Y. Davis and an interview with Mumia about his new book.** Also read the previous PhillyIMC feature.
