Rubin Carter
Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter was an American middleweight boxer whose promising career was derailed by a wrongful murder conviction in the 1960s. Born in New Jersey in 1937, Carter faced racial discrimination and hardship from a young age. He gained fame for his boxing prowess but was falsely accused and imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, leading to a lengthy legal battle that captured national attention. Carter was eventually exonerated in 1988, after spending nearly 30 years in prison. Following his release, he became an advocate for justice reform and authored several books, sharing his experiences. He passed away on April 20, 2014, from prostate cancer.
