Abstract
- The article features African American author, civil rights activist and imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin. Al-Amin is known for engaging in a verbal confrontation with President Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1965. He described himself in his 1969 autobiography "Die Nigger Die!" as a person who could not be controlled by white or African people. The 1968 Civil Rights Act: The Rap Brown Law was named after Al-Amin who has been in prison for felony murder and possession of a firearm since 2002.
