Here is another collage I decided to do in honor of the Black Arts Movement of the 1960's. This has often been considered the most important and controversial time in Black Literature. Many Black writers were inspired to establish, own, and operate publishing houses, magazines, journals, and art institutes. The movements origin has been accredited to Amiri Baraka, and was started in Harlem after the assassination of Malcolm X. The Black Arts Movement was a hotbed of Black rhetoric and voices naught often heard. Many prominent and exemplary Black writers were part of this movement.
