“Jazz, Poetry, Rap: Cause and Effect of the Black Arts Movement” by Harmonious Assembler The first article that I found about the Black Arts Movement is one about, you guessed it, the Black Arts Movement. In it, the author – Harmonious Assembler – explains to the audience that the main argument that they should focus on is the fact that only three people have driven the movement into where it is today: with music like hip-hop and rap being played. These three people they are implying are Amiri…

Filled with a copious amount of compelling works, the Black Arts epoch boasts authors that are each more idiosyncratic than the one proceeding them. For instance, one author of the period , Malcolm X, pens an autobiography detailing his traumatic childhood and his incarceration-motivated transformation.
