Public Enemy Releases It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back

Public Enemy, led by Chuck D and Flavor Flav from Long Island, releases It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. The album is a politically explicit condemnation of systemic racism, police brutality, the crack epidemic, and mass incarceration, with production by the Bomb Squad that critics call revolutionary. Rolling Stone later names it one of the greatest albums of all time.
