We have just gotten word, that our dear, friend, our mentor, one of the biggest inspirations for the art center...Mr. Amiri Baraka has passed.
He was born Everett LeRoi Jones on Oct. 7, 1934, in Newark, N.J. A gifted student, he graduated from high school two years early and went to college at New York University and Howard University.
Mr. Baraka was 79 years old. We will have much more all this week into next week.
Next weekend the entire Weekend South Jersey radio broadcast will be dedicated to Amiri Baraka.
Stay Tuned As We will Continue To Celebrate and Remember The Life Of This Poet and Activist!
