Talib Writer Amiri Baraka was born on October 7, 1934 in Newark, New Jersey. Baraka, born Everett LeRoi Jones, was an Air Force sergeant before being discharged for his communist political views. In 1958, he moved to Greenwich Village, New York, where he began writing about music, racism, and black nationalism. He is the author of Blues People, a definitive text about the history of black music. Baraka performs "Class Struggle in Music #1" featuring David Murray and Steve McCall in this 1982 recording.
