Mumia Abu Jamal murdered a White Police Officer back in 1981. He was handed down a death sentence, which he was later able to talk his way out of, and is now serving a life sentence at Mahanoy State Correctional Institution in Frackville, Pa.

Does that sound like the perfect qualifications required to give a commencement speech at college to you?

Well it does to Goddard College at Plainfield Vermont.

VT Digger:

Goddard College announced today that Mumia Abu-Jamal, an American prisoner,author, and journalist who received his Bachelor of Arts from Goddard in 1996, was selected by the students of the Undergraduate Program’s Fall 2014 graduating class to be their commencement speaker this Sunday, October 5. Abu-Jamal was convicted in the 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. His original death sentence handed down at his trial in 1982 was commuted to life imprisonment without parole in 2011. He was then transferred from death row to the Mahanoy State Correctional Institution in Frackville, Pa., where he resides today.
