RIP H. Rap Brown

[Polishprince]

The last great civil rights leader of the 1960's has bought the farm.

When I was in elementary school, I almost saw the man. One of my classmates saw someone who looked just like him in the boys' room at school, but it turned out to be a meter reader for a local utility and not Mr. Brown at all.

Brown eventually won the dad, his liberal ideology of "burn baby burn" triumphed in the civil rights community over MLK's idea of "non violence".
