The Last Poets (left to right: abiodun oyewole, don babatunde eaton, umar bin hassan)
Today, on what would have been Malcolm X's 83rd birthday, we celebrate his legacy and two groups founded on his birth date. Today marks the 40th anniversary of the legendary Last Poets, and the sixth anniversary of the 3rd Eye Open Poetry Collective. Malcolm has been gone for years now, yet his influence continues to be reborn in voices that inspire us all. Malcolm X lives. One luv.
