“The Last Poets are radical. It's a lot of really super strong, straightforward political stuff, chanting, yelling... There should be statues to these guys everywhere. Unbelievable group.”Watch this moment

The Last Poets
The Last Poets is a poetry collective and musical group that arose in the late 1960s as part of the African-American civil rights movement and black nationalism. The name was inspired by revolutionary South African poet Keorapetse Kgositsile who believed he was in the last era of poetry before guns took over.
