depths of Huntingdon' death row, Ja�al's colum�
about the homel racist tenor, brutahty of Amen

gularly i�, newspapen around the country. It is, that
pen and that voice the U.S.' racist rulers are deter-

Jamal's trial was a classic racist frame-up
denied the lawyer of his choice and resources to pre
pare a defense; of the prospective black jurors all but ,
one were excluded from the ,jury of twelve because of
their race while admittedly prejudiced white jurors
were chosen to decide Jamal's fate. Jamal was convict
ed of murder by this hand-picked panel. On 3 July
1982, the prosecutor secured the death sentence with
the argument that Jamal should be condemn� to
death simply for hi political history and beliefs,
claiming th t his membership in the Black Panther
Party nd use of the slogan "power to the people" 12
years ago proved he was a committed cop-killer!
Jamal's appeal was supported by an amici curiae ,
(friend of the court) brief from the American Civil Lib
erties Union and National COnference of Blac Law
yers. Thousands of people around the world have signed
statements demanding Jamal not be executed, includ
ing California Congressman Ronald DeUums; actor
Edward Asner; South African poet Dennis Brutus; and
Helmut Angula, SWAPO. ILA Local 1414, Savannah,
Georgia; ILWU Local 6, San Francisco; Chicago's ATU
Local 308; and CWA Local 4309, Cleveland are among
the unions on record demanding that Jamal not die.
