Mumia Abu-Jamal is an award-winning journalist, once hailed by the Philadelphia Inquirer as the 'Voice of the Voiceless'. After a controversial 1982 trial, he was sentenced to death for the murder of a Philadelphia police officer, and has been on Death Row ever since. All Things Censored contains over 90 pieces, most composed by Mumia with the cartridge of a ball-point pen (the only implement he is allowed) in his Death Row cell. In the book Mumia confronts his personal predicament while addressing issues that affect the nearly two million prison inmates in the US, and the American public in general, including censorship, police corruption, racism in the judicial system, and the rights of inmates. The title of this book alludes to the incidents that led Mumia first to be hired as an on-air columnist by National Public Radio's All Things Considered, and subsequently banned after pressure from law and order groups.
