Brick City Vanguard: Amiri Baraka, Black Music, Black Modernity Social Science Cultural & Ethnic Studies - American - African American & Black Studies Slavery History Modern - 18th Century I love being meAmiri Baraka is unquestionably the most recognized leader of the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, and one of the key literary and cultural figures of the postwar United States.
