On March 16, 2000, two police officers were shot in one of Atlanta’s oldest neighborhoods. One officer died and the other claimed the shooter was Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, the leader of a local mosque. Once known as H. Rap Brown, a charismatic leader of the Black Power Movement, and an honorary officer in the Black Panther Party, Al-Amin was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. But was Al-Amin truly guilty? Or was it payback for decades of work against the establishment?
Mosi Secret, a former reporter for The New York Times and ProPublica, investigates what really happened the night of the shootout in Atlanta, and he uncovers a dark secret revealing something deeper about violence in America, and who deserves to be called radical.
