The Last Poets - BHMD Micro Docs

Описание: The Last Poets is a poetry collective and musical group that arose in the late 1960s as part of the African-American civil rights movement and black nationalism after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and the subsequent riots that took place in many of America's large cities. Our micro doc is a tribute to this legendary group of poets and musicians.

The name was inspired by revolutionary South African poet #KeorapetseKgositsile who believed he was in the last era of poetry before guns took over. The group originally composed of #JalaluddinMansurNuriddin, “UmarBinHassan and #AbiodunOyewole. Lineup changes and departures led to offshoots, including The Original Last Poets composed of “Oyewole, #GylanKain, #DavidNelson and #FelipeLuciano. The group had a large impact on street and popular culture. The Last Poets were one of the most influential and earliest influences on hip-hop music.
