James Nathaniel Brown who is more popularly known as Jim Brown was not only a remarkable and legendary NFL player, he was an outstanding civil rights activist too. However, due to his crimes, he tarnished his reputation and popularity.

Brown was born to Swinton Brown, a professional boxer, and his wife, Theresa, in St. Simons Island, Georgia. His struggles began when he was a child as his father abandoned the family when he was just 2 weeks old. If this wasn’t traumatizing enough his mother soon departed from his life as well, taking a job as a maid in Manhasset, New York, and leaving the care of her young son in the hands of Brown’s great-grandmother.
