music. Brown's message of change by improving
currently existing systems was conservative in
comparison to some more radical artists. These
artists, like the Last Poets, believe that change
would only come around through a revolution. The

Finn, the classic boy character of Mark Twain,
begins a adventure traveling by raft down the
Mississippi River, with Jim, a slave he knows
little more than in passing. ...
