Good read

Very good read of a conversation between two thought provoke voices of our time. Began reading a page in a poetry workshop inside captivity and had to purchase this upon my return home. Well pleased to add this to my library.

Great book!

This intense, passionate collection of conversations examining black societal issues between Dr. Marc Lamont Hill and Mumia Abu-Jamal provides brilliant insight for a better tomorrow. Both Dr. Hill and Abu-Jamal poignantly articulated on issues such as: black cultural politics, leadership, education, incarceration and many other pressing questions that have gone unanswered.What astounded me the most about this book is how "in tune" Mumia Abu-Jamal is with society. As an award winning author, journalist and political prisoner on Pennsylvania's Death Row, Abu-Jamal's spirited acumen of black life in America is brilliant. Dr. Hill's humility throughout this book is of brilliance as well. As a professor at Columbia University, award winning author and host of "Our World with Black Enterprise," Dr. Hill is one of the most accomplished black men of our time. Despite his accomplishments, Dr. Hill illustrates that provocative thirst for more throughout this book. Both authors are beacons of light in some of our nation's darkest hours. Complex and deeply moving, this book shows us that with a deep understanding, love and compassion for one another, against all odds we can stand as one. This book is a must read.

I was anxious to receive this DVD because I wanted to have this for my Mumia Abu-Jamal collection of his story. The seller got it to me before expected and the quality was excellent. I would recommend this seller to all Amazon buyers.

Great book, must read. Collaborates freedom, with "FREEDOM." The authors discuss and explore profound elements of the Black nature in our current culture.
