Mumia Abu-Jamal: A Portrait of Mass Incarceration – opening
part of “Voices of Mass Incarceration: A Symposium” // By presenting items from Mumia Abu-Jamal’s life in prison alongside broader information and objects related to mass incarceration, this exhibition offers a unique opportunity to examine sites and systems of incarceration through both a deeply personal lens and from a holistic perspective. In doing so, it paints a comprehensive portrait of the vast impact the carceral state has had on the human experience in the United States, where two million individuals are currently incarcerated. Remarks by Amanda Strauss, Associate University Librarian for Special Collections and Director of the John Hay Library; Christopher West, Curator of the Black Diaspora, John Hay Library; and poetic interlude with Celes Tisdale, Distinguished Emeritus Professor of English, State University of New York at Buffalo.
