Mumia Abu-Jamal
From the founding legends of Abyssinia's royal house to the hidden "hush harbors" of black captives in the America's southland, Mumia Abu-Jamal presents a moving portrayal of black faith over thespan of 500 years.

"Mumia Abu Jamal has always embodied both political courage and moral commitment to his people and to all humanity. That deep spiritual vision is richly reflected inFaith of Our Fathers. For one who has been unjustly imprisoned for so many years to retain faith is remarkable enough in itself. Butto produce such a work of stunning insight and thoughtful research, as Mumia has done, is truly inspiring."
