Brother Ali
Ali Douglas Newman (born Jason Douglas Newman, July 30, 1977), better known by his stage name Brother Ali, is an American hip hop artist, community activist and member of the Rhymesayers Entertainment hip hop collective.
==Early life==
Ali was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and spent his early childhood moving throughout Midwestern United States (mostly in Michigan). Ali's family settled in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1992, and he attended Robbinsdale Cooper High School in New Hope, Minnesota.〔 He began rapping at age eight, in the midst of traveling from place to place with his family. Ali was first recorded rapping at age 13. He was born with albinism, a disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes.
Ali converted to Islam at age 15 and followed Imam Warith Deen Mohammed. During this time, Ali was selected to join a group of students on a Malaysian study tour, in which they explored the way that a more liberal Islamic society could peacefully coexist with different religions.
Though Brother Ali is white, he has often described a childhood marked by cruelty and exclusion by his white classmates as a result of his physical abnormality. He has often explained that, from an early age, he felt "most at home amongst African Americans."〔()〕
