Oaktown paid tribute to the Greats of Black Arts at the Eastside Arts Center last night. Watts Prophet Hum Di, Nadira Lewis, Marvin X and Ayodele Nzinga performed and spoke about the ancestors. Marvin X said, "Remember this about Amiri Baraka, he was a revolutionary, no matter what else he became. When he was into spiritual things, he was revolutionary; when he was a communist, he remained a revolutionary, so let us remember him and continue making revolution."
