Pam Africa is the head of The International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal (ICFFMAJ). Africa gave an update on the current media-activist campaign to "ensure fairness" for Abu-Jamal on the upcoming December 6 NBC Today Show, which is spotlighting the release of the book "Murdered By Mumia." Africa and ICFFMAJ are asking that the The Today Show fairly show both sides of the Abu-Jamal / Faulkner story, and give equal time to an expert sympathetic to Abu-Jamal's case for a new trial. On Friday, November 30, Africa had a scheduled telephone conference with NBC's Today Show, and did not make an official decision regarding ICFFMAJ's request, but said they would look at the information and contact Pam Africa this week.
--Journalists for Mumia Abu-Jamal (Abu-Jamal-News.com) was co-founded in May, 2007 by Philadelphia journalist Hans Bennett and German linguist Dr. Michael Schiffmann (University of Heidelberg), who is the author of the new German book about Abu-Jamal's case, "Race Against Death."
