FTP MOVEMENT HONORS A LEGEND!
Amiri Baraka Receives A Lifetime Achievement Award
- The legendary, literary, genius and activist with over a half-century of political and social activism will be presented with the FTP Movement’s (FTPM) “Lifetime Achievement Award” at the renowned KRST Unity Center of Afrakan Spiritual Science (KRST).
Amiri Baraka is the founder of the “Black Arts Movement,” which is heralded as the blueprint and aesthetic for art and theatre interfacing with “Black Nationalism.” He is also the former Poet Laureate of New Jersey and has collaborated with legends in several artistic genres and assisted in producing other iconic figures. FTPM stands on the shoulders of pillars like Mr. Baraka, which it holds in high honor and reverence for his over five decades of socio-political work.
On this monumental night of reverence, Mr. Baraka will also present a timely lecture entitled “Art and the Future.” This epic presentation takes place Sunday, July 1st, 6pm at KRST, 7825 S. Western Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90047.
About FTP Movement
FTPM formed in response to “the system’s” disregard for the poor and its oppressive conditions that foster poverty. With
a focus on uplifting poor and urban communities respectively, and promoting unity, justice, freedom, and self-sufficiency, FTPM strives to work on behalf of “the people.” As a grassroots organization, FTPM operates through the hearts of its members, who consistently serve with the passion to work as activists and revolutionaries.
FTPM is embodied by its logo, an artistic representation of the Siafu Ant of Eastern Africa, a species that exemplifies the essence of teamwork. The Siafu has no eyes and no venom - only strong jaws. Individually each is small, but as a team they can strip a water buffalo down to the bone in less than an hour. FTPM is much like the Siafu Ant – small in size, but powerful beyond measure.
