SAMIYA 'GOLDII' DAVIS ABDULLAH, REST IN PEACE

Mumia Abu-Jamal’s daughter loses her fight with breast cancer at the age of 36.

The Campaign To Bring Mumia Home

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Samiya “Goldii” Davis Abdullah, one of the beloved daughters of Mumia Abu-Jamal. Samiya had been living with cancer for several

years during which time she finished a Master’s Degree at the University of Pennsylvania.

Samiya  was an accomplished artist who expressed the injustice of her father’s case through her music.  A voracious reader, she read her father’s books and discussed them with him. As a child she visited him on death row. In his radio essay “Goldii’s Visit” Mumia recounts her distress at the partition separating her from her father; she pounded her fist on the plexiglass and called to her mother to “break it.” It was with this fighting spirit that she lived her life.
