“This country was born of violence Violence
is as american as cherry pie. Black people
have always been violent, but our violence
has always been directed toward each
other. If nonviolence is to be practiced,

then it should be practiced in our commu-

nity and end there.”
— H. Rap Brown, Detroit, 1967

H. RAP BROWN was born in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, in 1943. He received his educa-
tion there, and for a time attended Southern
University.

He joined SNCC in 1963 and in 1966
worked in Alabama for the organization as
State Project Director. He was Chairman
of SNCC from 1967-68.

Since October of 1967, H. Rap Brown
has been confined to New York City under
house arrest, pending trial in Maryland on
charges of arson and inciting to riot. In June
of 1968, he was convicted on a gun-carry-
ing charge, sentenced to five years in jail
and given the maximum fine of $2000; this
case is now being appealed. He has also
been charged with intimidation of an officer
of the FBI.

Mr. Brown has recently married; his wife,
Lynne, is a former schoolteacher.
