Amiri Baraka 1934-2014
(born Everett Leroy Jones)
poet and playwright
of pulsating rage,
whose long illumination
of the black
experience in America
was called incandescent
in some quarters
and
incendiary in others
(...)
Mr. Baraka was famous
as one of the major
forces
in the Black Arts movement
of the 1960s and
’70s,
which sought to duplicate
in fiction, poetry,
drama
and other mediums
the aims
of the black power
movement
in the
political arena.
