The Classroom and The Cell: Conversations on Black Life in America-Now on TWPBooks.com and Amazon
This collection of conversations between celebrity intellectual Marc Lamont Hill and famed political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal is a shining example of African American men speaking for themselves about the many forces impacting their lives.

CHICAGO, IL, January 14, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Written by two Black men on opposite sides of the system, one a professor at Columbia University and the other an inmate on death row for the last 29 years, The Classroom and The Cell: Conversations on Black Life in America is a work that candidly discusses what it means to be a Black man in today's culture.
Often drawing from their own personal experiences, Mumia Abu-Jamal and Marc Lamont Hill gracefully peel off the layers of complexity, affording readers the opportunity to see their struggles, fears, hopes and desires. Addressing everything from the Civil Rights Movement to the Black Panther party, education, prison reform, leadership and the Black community at large, Mumia Abu-Jamal and Marc Lamont Hill adequately pose challenges and solutions to awaken Black leaders.
In the chapter "Black Leadership: A Continuing Crisis?" Abu-Jamal and Hill assert: "Given the range of problems confronting the Black community, there is little doubt that there's a demand for political, intellectual and moral leadership."
