VIDEO: Baltimore NAACP supports Mumia Abu-Jamal and other prisoners

Diary Entry by Hans Bennett (about the author)

Brother Marvin "Doc" Cheatham, President of the Baltimore NAACP, sent this video'd message to us for the Pennsylvania NAACP meeting which took place this past Saturday in King Prussia, Pennsylvania, and which Pam Africa addressed. Pam called on the State members to support the Campaign for a Civil Rights Investigation, which the National NAACP has already supported, in this historic 100th anniversary of the founding of the NAACP. Pam and the rest of us were received very warmly, and invited to attend the State Convention to be held in Philadelphia this coming October.
