Amiri Baraka on Carlos Moore: Five Decades in the Garbage Can of History
Bruce A. Dixon, BAR managing editor

🖨️ Print Article

Poet, activist and esteemed elder Amiri Baraka was one of those who showed up in Harlem last month to greet a delegation of Cuban visitors.  He took the occasion to express profound reservations about the letter and petition circulated by Carlos Moore and signed by a number of prominent American blacks who, given Moore's fifty year career as an anti-Cuba  stooge, really should have known better.
