Amiri Baraka is, in my opinion, a literary genius: He knew how to write, but he knew it so well that he could make a world of it. Certainly Baraka's ideas prevail within the American literary community, however, from Amiri Baraka comes my contemporary emphasis on revolution and its power to mobilize a student's struggles through liberation.

Amiri Baraka is, in my opinion, a literary genius: He knew how to write, but he knew it so well that he could make a world of it.

Baraka became a university professor, international published scholar, with many books and more than one hundred articles to his credit. It is my pleasure to encounter him again, to have access once more to his writings." ~ Michael Tombs

These ideas offended a number of the so called white elite and their racist establishment, however, they were accepted by a huge segment of the African American community. They informed the Black Youth Organization (BYO) of the popular dialogue of the 1960s, in addition, many of the on campus demands of the 1960s protesters relied on beliefs such as acceptance, positive regard, & family life. As our distance from Elijah Muhammad grows, the American critiques, in my opinion, seem increasingly irrelevant. What Muhammad provides- what all Messengers provide is a unique vision. Before being dismissed and forgotten, Muhammad was attacked on a series of particular grounds. Reviews of Islam's literature showed the necessity and the sufficiency of his teachings difficult to prove, although the evidence of Sunni and Shiite culture remains strong...
