Nina Simone was born as Eunice Kathleen Waymon in 1933. Her home town, Tyron North Carolina, has always been supportive of her musical talent.

When she grew up, she chose to go to Julliard for a year, and then dropped out to go to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In San Quentin prison in 1971, George Jackson had a private meeting with his lawyer. Little did the guards know that his lawyer had given him a pistol, which he hid under a gifted wig. George took a guard at gun point, and used him to unlock the cells of twenty plus prisoners. The prison quickly erupted into a riot which only lasted thirty three minutes, but left six guards and twenty six inmates dead. The majority of inmate deaths were due to the fighting between rival gangs, the Black Guerilla Family and the Mexican Mafia. However, the legal system could only identify six people involved, who have been nicknamed the San Quentin Six. It consisted of Fleeta Drumgo, David Johnson, Hugo Pinell, Johnny Spain, Luis Talamantez, and Willie Tate. They all committed violent crimes during the riot for one reason or another, and their court cases dragged out for years.
