My 83 year old Dad is a Black Arts Movement poet. The Black Arts Movement was the artistic component of the Black Power Movement. Black Studies was the academic response to the Black Power Movement. In this episode, my Dad discusses how he came to be an architect of Black Studies in U.S. universities.

The Memoir My Dad Wouldn't Write is a radically honest conversation between a daughter and her dad. My dad has had an incredible life as a poet, activist, professor, and cultural worker. He wouldn't write a memoir, so this series of conversations is partly that.
