Yeah, a racist, misogynist, antisemite, homophobe ...etc.

For those records heads whom maybe unfamiliar with all of his efforts, as i am, he served as an inspiration to younger cats striving to develop their literary works. He as well as stanely crouch made me want to dig strictly for the liner notes. Thank you for this post. Sincerely.

When I was 18 years old I played Walker Vessels in his play The Slave (1968). his work enlightened my life.

R.I.P Mr. Baraka. He made me unapologetically proud to be from Newark. And shame on you Newark Public Schools. Mr. Baraka's work should be embedded in your curriculum. That's right, I said it.

First few photos of him speaking are at Gary West Side High School in Gary, Indiana.

Showed me everything I know about poetry.....

Amiri Baraka Was my great grandfather, he died the year I was born I’m going to be nine this year on October 7. I’m gonna let off a balloon and it will say come back to us.😢😢😢

How do revolutionaries such as Baraka or Malcom X make money?

RIP Amiri Baraka. From one Native of Newark to another :)

Baraka is the baddest figure in black literature on the 20th century. He should have won a Nobel Prize but I guess he's too controversial for the old men in Sweden and Norway. They'd rather give it to an unappreciated songwriter named Dylan. Songwriter!? Come on old men. Your standards have certainly been lowered to the common and simple with this award.

Nah, but too average as a writer, or more precisely - a author who wrote ideologically instead of artistically

I love this style of music. What is the genre called?

Newark 4 life

The greatest.

legend

...they never said the date he died. Just thursday

I was in school trying to learn trying to escape COVID.

He carried the 'Beat' torch without fail to the end. The 'Beat'destiny of the human spirit. Who will carry the torch on? It is sad to see the old guard pass now hope resides in the future guard. Maybe that's good. We'll see.

Thank you!

All light!!!! 💡

His passing makes me sad.

My all time favorite !...I carry the torch " Eternal Flame"

Godspeed Brother Amiri... **finger-snaps, finger-snaps

RIP

we lost 2 great poets in Baraka & Will "Da Real One" Bell

Nice try but let's think my position through! Skin does not think your brain does! What is capitalism and why do I use it to critique the life and work of Leroy Jones? Capitalism means the production of the necessities of life (everything humans need to survive) for a profit! What is a profit? The difference between the wage a worker gets and the value he/she creates minus production costs. You earn 100 a day creat a value of 200 through your labor minus 50 for works cost (lights etc) leaves

Democracy Now sold OUT.

Carter Wilson's book "From Slavery to Advanced Capitalism"

CORRECTION: 1. There was no Mexico as we know it prior to 1810. 2. California was occupied by a few native tribes. 3. What we know as California was controlled by Spain. 4. Spanish is to Mexicans what English is to African slaves: Language of the oppressors. 5. Spanish is not the Mexican's native tongue nor culture. 6. What we know as Mexico today was a land of no different than the US prior to European migration: Just another land of independent tribes.

Poets priests and politicians have words that scream for your submission.
