| The Black Arts Movement (BAM) spanned the period from the mid 1960's to the mid 1970's. Both inherently and overtly in content, the Black Arts Movement was a literary movement to advance "social engagement" as a sine qua non of its aesthetic. The Movement broke from it's immediate past of protest and petition literature and dashed forward toward an alternative that seemed at the time unthinkable and unobtainable. The aim of Black Power. This movement, usually referred to as a "sixties" movement, coalesced in 1965 and broke apart around 1975/1976. This forum shall examine some of the Cultural influences on the BPM and it's legacy, from a "ethnological" perspective, with particular focus on the musical and literary forms and individuals which influenced this Movement.

A Love Supreme...
Easily one of the most important records ever made, John Coltrane's A Love Supreme was his pinnacle studio outing that at once compile all of his innovations from his past, spoke of his current deep spirituality, and also gave a glimpse into the next two and a half years. Recorded at the end of 1964, Trane's classic quartet of Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner and Jimmy Garrison stepped into the studio and created one of the most thought-provoking, consise and technically pleasing albums of their bountiful relationship. From the undulatory and classic bassline at the intro to the last breathy notes, Trane is at the peak of his logical yet emotionally varied soloing while the rest of the group is remarkably in tune with Coltrane's spiritual vibe.
Composed of four parts, each has a thematic progression leading to an understanding of spirituality through meditation.
(To be continued)..

A Brief History of the Watts Writer's Workshop
The Watts Writers Workshop was a creative writing group initiated by screenwriter Budd Schulberg in the wake of devastating 1965 riots in South Central Los Angeles. The group was composed primarily of young African Americans in Watts and the surrounding neighborhoods. The group expanded its facilities and activities over the next several years with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. Government files later revealed that the Workshop had been the target of covert operations by the FBI.
Well-known writers to emerge from the Workshop include Quincy Troupe and Stanley crouch.
Further Reading
David Widener, "Something Else: Creative Community and Black Liberation in Postwar los Angeles," (Ph.D. dissertation, New York University, 2003). Harry Dolan was the director of the Watts Writers Workshop when the workshop was burned down. he had taken his own hard earned money and kept the Workshop going after federal funding had been cut.
