NEWS VIDEO: The City of Paris Names Mumia Abul-Jamal: CITIZEN OF HONOR
The city of Paris, France hasn't named a Citizen of Honor for the past 30 years, and the last person to be bestowed this title was Pablo Picasso. On October 4, 2003, Mumia Abu-Jamal continued this respected tradition by becoming a Citizen of Honor of Paris in a ceremony conducted by Mayor Bertrand Delanoë. On hand to receive the medal and certificate were, among others, Pam Africa, Angela Davis, Julia Wright and Mumia's chief counsel, Robert Bryan.
