Black Power leaders H. Rap Brown & Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture) sharing laughs and jokes together (wait until the end) 🫶🏽😊
Yesterday marked what would have been the 83rd birthday of H. Rap Brown, known as Imam Jamil Al-Amin.
Imam Jamil was wrongfully imprisoned for over 25 years after being targeted by the state for decades—first as a Black revolutionary during the Civil Rights era, and later as a Muslim leader and advocate for human rights.
We pray that Imam Jamil and his family receive justice, and for the freedom of all political prisoners.

@omarsuleiman & his community honored Imam Jamil with a foundational brick in his name at @ValleyRanchIC’s expansion project ❤️
Kairi Al-Amin was in Dallas for the Muslim Champions League @ChampionsM23185 and was able to place the brick for his father 🤲🏽
May Allah (God) allow us to continue Imam Jamil’s legacy.

In these last few moments of Ramadan, please remember to keep Imam Jamil and all those still incarcerated in your Duas (prayers).

Our first Ramadan without Imam Jamil…
While we celebrate Leqaa Kordia’s release, we remember all of our other political prisoners still behind bars this Ramadan: @Aafiamovement

And more…
Let us learn from Imam Jamil’s lessons on fasting and continue in our steadfastness to #FreeThemAll before Allah calls them home.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we remember Imam Jamil Al-Amin, formerly H. Rap Brown, who recently passed away in November 2025 due to medical neglect of a tumor resulting in stage four cancer and being wrongfully imprisoned for 25 years…
After converting to Islam, Brown adopted the name Jamil Al-Amin and became an Imam of a community mosque in the West End of Atlanta, Georgia. Imam Jamil became a protector of his community, leading a neighborhood cleanup of drugs, prostitution, and gang violence.
He led over 30 Muslim communities nationwide in the Dar-ul-Islam movement and led national protests against the Bosnian genocide.
This #BlackHistoryMonth, let us honor Imam Jamil and carry on his legacy in our communities ✊🏽

Yet no matter how detailed their plans are, they always fail against one unstoppable force: the power of Muslim solidarity.

H. Rap Brown (born Hubert Gerold Brown, later Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin) was a fiery Black Power icon of the 1960s.
He served as SNCC chairman (succeeding Stokely Carmichael), briefly Black Panther Minister of Justice, and popularized militant rhetoric like “Violence is as American as cherry pie.”
A master orator who pushed armed self-defense against oppression.
Converted to Islam in the '70s, became an Imam & community leader in Atlanta.
Convicted in 2002 for a deputy’s killing (widely disputed as political), served life as a political prisoner until his death at 82 on Nov 23, 2025.
Rest in power ✊🏾 A true revolutionary voice that shook the system.

Imam Jamil Al-Amin passed away imprisoned for a crime he did not commit in 2025.
The silence around his story is intentional, and it matters when we speak about Muslim prisoners today.
