    Born Hubert Gerold Brown and calling himself
    Jamil Abdullah al-Amin in later years,but best
    known by the name in the subject line,he was
    born October 4th 1943 and died November 23rd 2025,
    the Wikipedes' initial source being a website
    asserting that he did not commit the cop-killing
    for which he was imprisoned at the time of his death.

    He's one of the people who was famous long enough
    ago that you're suprised he was still alive,but
    was over a decade younger than the recently
    sustained new president of the LDS Church,
    and almost a year younger than recently retired
    President Biden.

    Elected chairman of the Student Nonviolent
    Coordinating Committee in 1967,he spent that
    summer calling for violent resistance to
    the government of the USA.

    The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
    at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

    Grokipedia does not yet have his death noted, but does provide some
    background on the cop-killing and other such:
