Rap Brown Takes Refuge At Cuban Mission At UN
Black Power activist H. Rap Brown and patrolman clashed outside the Cuban mission to the United Nations leading to a six hour standoff. The Cuban mission protested alleged police mistreatment and Brown blamed white officials for the actions. Brown, free on bond, was later allowed to leave the mission with his aide while investigators offered U.N. good offices.
