Definition

  • H. Rap Brown's firebrand anti-American rhetoric and militant stances made him synonymous with the 1960s Black Power movement. Coming to political consciousness during the turbulent 1964 Mississippi Summer Project in Lowndes County, Brown became the chairman of the Non-Violent Action Group at Howard University in 1965.
