Robert "Sonny" Carson (also known as Mwlina Imiri Abubadika; May 22, 1936 – December 20, 2002), was a U.S. Army Korean War veteran, civil rights activist, and community leader in Brooklyn, New York. Carson was mostly known for his political organizing, and his coordination of public demonstrations. These demonstrations protested the education system that African-American communities in New York were subjected to during the 1960s and 70s. He is also known for his popular autobiography, The Education of Sonny Carson (1972), which was made into a 1974 film. Carson is the father of hip-hop artist Professor X.
