The Clark Sisters and Fred Hammond are headed to the Las Vegas Strip as part of a new gospel music residency. Nearly every story calls it historic or a milestone, as though the Holy Spirit had won something by landing in a casino district built to separate tourists from their money. Jesus spent much of His time warning people about confusing God with money.

To others, including the family of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner and many in law enforcement, he is a convicted cop killer whose conviction has withstood decades of appeals. The debate has never truly ended. Now, Abu-Jamal's legal team has taken his fight beyond U.S. courts, petitioning the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention to weigh in on his incarceration.
