Show Notes
Philly’s DA shows the limits of being a “progressive prosecutor” by appealing Mumia Abu Jamal’s latest challenge of his conviction. The move saw Krasner disinvited from an activist conference at Yale Law School. To discuss this news, we had a conversation with Mike Africa Jr., a Philadelphia organizer, a member of the Move Organization, and the President of the Seed of Wisdom Foundation. Africa is also the son of two political prisoners, also from MOVE. He was born in prison, and Krasner actually helped both his parents get released from jail. We discussed all of this yesterday, when Africa joined us for an interview.
