| Abstract | Civil rights activist and author Richard X. Clark was born July 29, 1946 in New York City. Clark graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School and served in the U.S. Navy until 1968. In 1969, Clark was charged and sentenced to four years in prison in New York for attempted robbery. After time in several facilities, including Sing Sing and Walkill, he was transferred to the Attica Correctional Facility in Attica, New York. Appalled by conditions, Clark became active in black Muslim political groups. In September 1971, he was one of the leaders of the Attica Prison riot, which took the lives of forty-three men. After his release from prison in 1972, Clark published The Brothers of Attica, in 1973. He later became a case manager for Phase Piggy Bank, a Harlem-based organization-providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Richard X. Clark passed away on September 4, 2015 at age 69. |
