ICONS: Rubin "Hurricane" Carter

"Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties

Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise

While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell 

An innocent man in a living hell.

That’s the story of the Hurricane,

But it won’t be over till they clear his name

And give him back the time he’s done.

Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been

The champion of the world…”

Hurricane - Bob Dylan

“There is no bitterness. If I was bitter, that would mean they won.” - Rubin Carter
