talk show, Galinsky seems to have the answer with his
provocative and comforting 9pm variety vehicle.”

Episode #31
In the 1960s he exhorted students at Columbia University to burn their college to the ground. Sentenced to more than 12 years in Leavenworth Prison (where he earned 3 college degrees) and 4 decades later, he is head of the graduate screen and television writing program of Columbia’s School of Arts Film Division. Jamal was the youngest member of the “Panther 21” and one of the leaders of the NY Black Panther Party. His personal odyssey—from the streets of Harlem to Riker’s Island and Leavenworth to the halls of Columbia—is as gripping as it is inspiring. Jamal Joseph helps us understand what it meant to be a soldier inside the militant Black Panther movement and what it means today, in the era of #blacklivesmatter.
