Black Power Movement Part I: Amiri Baraka, from Black arts to Black radicalism

The documents microfilmed in this edition come from the personal holdings of Dr. Komozi Woodard, professor of American history at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York. Dr. Woodard collected these documents during his career as an activist in Newark, New Jersey, and in connection with the research for his book A Nation Within A Nation: Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones) and Black Power Politics (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1999). The collection has been arranged into sixteen series. These series are: (1) Black Arts Movement; (2) Black Nationalism; (3) Correspondence; (4) NewArk (New Jersey); (5) Congress of African People; (6) National Black Conferences and National Black Assembly; (7) Black Women’s United Front; (8) Student Organization for Black Unity; (9) African Liberation Support Committee; (10) Revolutionary Communist League; (11) African Socialism; (12) Black Marxists; (13) National Black United Front; (14) Miscellaneous Materials, 1978–1988; (15) Serial Publications; and (16) Oral Histories.

Komozi Woodard donated papers to the Auburn Avenue Research Library in Atlanta, and papers there were digitized as part of a Gale database we also have access to [see Related Materials].
