The Human Earthquake would like you to bring him and the Black Arts Movement Poets Choir to your city ASAP. $100,000 is needed to bring him to your city for a Black radical concert of spiritual, educational and wellness healing. Art is therapy! Support the cultural revolution. Before political consciousness, there must be cultural and spiritual consciousness. Call him at 510-200-4164. The Black Arts Movement is ready to travel! Baraka said do the 27 cities in the US, promote the United Front! BAM is down fada git down! Long live the Bandung Conference!
Ten people with $10.000.00 each in each city can make this happen. Just know this, we are soldiers, not opportunists greedy for money, after all, we have sacrificed our lives for the freedom of our people. Many of us are in poor health, so we must move expeditiously to at least begin this project. Some of the BAM people will not be able to conclude this project. We call upon the Black Arts babies 2.0 to continue in the BAM tradition.
