Another chance to hear The Last Poets sit in for Iggy Pop as they take you on a personal journey through the music that came out of the civil rights movement.
In May of 1968, the founding members of the Last Poets stood together in Mount Morris park 鈥� now Marcus Garvey park 鈥� in Harlem and uttered their first poems in public. They commemorated what would have been the 43rd birthday of Malcolm X, who had been killed three years earlier. The forefathers of hip hop present their Black Power Playlist tonight.
