Abstract

In the summer of 1967, civil rights activist Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (then known as H. Rap Brown) declared, “Violence is a part of America’s culture. It is as American as cherry pie.” Fifty-four years later, Al-Amin is incarcerated in Tucson, Arizona, serving a life sentence for the murder of a sheriff’s deputy. And fifty-four years later, violence remains central to questions of race, law, and social justice in the United States.
