Bowman Featured Black Revolutionary Convicted of Murder

“During Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s (D-NY) tenure as a middle school principal, a ‘Wall of Honor’ he curated honoring historical Black and Latino figures included a notorious antisemite and two Black militants convicted of murder and armed robbery, respectively,” the HuffPost reports.

“Bowman discussed the educational tool in a video, uploaded to YouTube in 2014, that depicts the addition of rapper Chuck D to the wall at Cornerstone Academy for Social Action Middle School, or CASA. The goal of the project was to provide the Bronx school’s overwhelmingly Black and Latino student body with a version of history in which they could see themselves.”
