Violence Is As American As Cherry Pie The Famous Words of Imam Jamil Al Amin H Rap Brown.
Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, (born October 4, 1943, as Hubert Gerold Brown), also known as H. Rap Brown, was chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in the 1960s, and during a short-lived (six months) alliance between SNCC and the Black Panther Party, he served as their minister of justice. He is perhaps most famous for his proclamation during that period that “violence is as American as cherry pie,” as well as once stating that “If America don’t come around, we’re gonna burn it down.” He is also known for his autobiography Die N_____ Die!. He is currently serving a life sentence for being framed for murder following the 2000 shooting of two Fulton County Sheriff’s deputies. One deputy, Ricky Kinchen, died in the shooting.

13th Drive In Movie Showing
13th is a powerful documentary that addresses racial issues confronting America in 2016. In a time of polarized attitudes about mass incarceration, brutality, and the explosion of for-profit prisons and their affiliates, director Ava DuVernay interviews social activists, academics, journalists, and political figures to make the case that today’s prisons, which house millions of persons of color, are simply the next incarnation of the centuries-old U.S. exploitation.

Your $10 suggested donation to reserve your parking spot will be donated to Leaders Igniting Transformation to further their social justice activism in the community. We’ll also provide you with a $5 coupon code for food and drinks during the showing.
