The impact of Baltimore’s 1968 riots is still felt. The drumming, music and protest poetry of Black Arts Movement founders The Last Poets laid the groundwork for hip-hop, slam poetry and the black spoken word movement. They’re joined by high-powered synchronized poets 5th L, neo-feminist avant poet Olu Butterfly, DishiBem Traditional Contemporary Dance Group, youth performers from Wombworks and others, echoing the reverberations of the uprising on our stage. Discussion follows.
