Black Arts Movement
Black Arts to Black Consciousness, the words of Black poets and artists renewed call for empowerment and independence around the world. Poetry and performance became protest, political and social treaties blended speeches into stanzas, creativity connecting cultural revolutions around the Diaspora, with style that set the stage for an era to come.
