The Activism and the Imprisonment of Jamil Al-Amin 

Heather Gray interviews Professor Emeritus of Sociology Dr. Harry Edwards about his association with the civil rights activist Jamil Al-Amin.

Jamil grew up as H. Rap Brown. He was a strong athlete in school, was active in the civil rights movement, including Freedom Summer, and became Chairman of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee.

In 1971, Brown was arrested and imprisoned for robbery. While incarcerated, he converted to Islam and changed his name to Jamil Al-Amin. In 2000, he was accused and convicted of shooting two Fulton County deputy sheriffs. He is currently in prison serving a life sentence. Since his imprisonment, another man has testified to being responsible for the shootings.

In the interview, Dr. Edwards gives credit to Al-Amin for reframing the civil rights struggle as a human rights struggle, talking about what that means, and why it's important.

Somehow the things we need get from there to here, but it's not just about the things; *people* make the global supply chain work.

Here are stories of some of them, from a sea captain whose first working voyage had his knees knocking, to pedal-powered trash haulers, to residents of a tiny city at the nexus of multiple supply routes.
