This 6 x 9 inch spiral bound essay by Lilly Daiber tells the story of meeting William Brent in May 2006 at his home in Havana, Cuba. William Brent, a Black Panther activist, hijacked a plane to Havana to escape prosecution in the 1969. In Cuba he lived life as an educator and scholar of Cuban slavery, dying in 2006.

The deluxe edition of 50 includes a signed copy of El muro and two pigmented inks portraits signed on verso, in a clamshell box. Any academic library purchasing a deluxe edition will receive a second copy of El muro in hope that the book will be placed in the stacks.

Taken together, the pictures in El muro tell a remarkable story of human endurance and triumph. Hernández Santos presents his subjects not as passive players but as people who struggle (though more quietly than not) against discrimination even though such struggle is very risky.
