Citações Mumia Abu-Jamal

„Somente nos Estados Unidos um correspondente de uma corte pode ouvir um juiz dizer: "Eu estou indo ajudar-lhes a fritar o negro!", e ao relatá-lo, o judiciário virar os olhos como se fosse cego.“

— Mumia Abu-Jamal

„Elie Wiesel says that the greatest evil in the world is not anger or hatred, but indifference. If that is true, then the opposite is also true: that the greatest love we can show our children is the attention we pay them, the time we take for them. Maybe we serve children the best simply by noticing them.“

— Mumia Abu-Jamal, Death Blossoms: Reflections from a Prisoner of Conscience

„Prison is a second-by-second assault on the soul, a day-to-day degradation of the self, an oppressive steel and brick umbrella that transforms seconds into hours and hours into days.“

— Mumia Abu-Jamal

„here and there
in the barrios and the favelas,
among those who have least,
beat hearts of hope,
fly sparks of Overcoming.“

— Mumia Abu-Jamal, Death Blossoms: Reflections from a Prisoner of Conscience

„The men laugh at the witty line, but it is not a belly laugh. Beasley's mouth is in a wide smile, but his eyes do not laugh, for there is little reason for joy. And if eyes are indeed mirrors of the soul, then they reflect an infinite sadness. I look away, afraid of what mine might reflect“

— Mumia Abu-Jamal

„Conventional wisdom would have one believe that it is insane to resist this, the mightiest of empires, but what history really shows is that today's empire is tomorrow's ashes; that nothing lasts forever, and that to not resist is to acquiesce in your own oppression. The greatest form of sanity that anyone can exercise is to resist that force that is trying to repress, oppress, and fight down the human spirit.“

— Mumia Abu-Jamal

„Only in America can a court reporter hear a judge say, 'I’m going to help them fry the nigger!,' report it, and the judiciary turns a blind eye!“

— Mumia Abu-Jamal
