A powerful anniversary celebration was held this past Saturday, April 30th in Saint-Denis, France, of the courageous naming of that street five years ago by Mayor Didier Palliard, Deputy to the Parliament, Patrick Brauoezec, and the Saint-Denis Mumia Committee. in lasting tribute to Mumia and the struggle to free him.
Many will recall that the Fraternal Order of Police went beserk when they heard of this honor beslowed upon Mumia and pressured three US legislative bodies to denounce that act: the City Council of Philadelphia, the State of Pennsylvania Senate and House, and the US House of Representatives.
