The Black Arts Movement, Black Aesthetics Movement or BAM is the artistic outgrowth of the Black Power movement that was prominent in the 1960s and early 1970s. "
Time" magazine describes the Black Arts Movement as the "single most controversial movement in the history of African-American literature – possibly in American literature as a whole."
 The Black Arts Repertory Theatre is a key institution of the Black Arts Movement.
Chinweizu (born 26 March 1943) is a Nigerian critic, essayist, poet, and journalist.
 Though he has identified himself and is known simply as Chinweizu, he was born Chinweizu Ibekwe.
 While studying in the United States during the Black Power movement, Chinweizu became influenced by the philosophy of the Black Arts Movement.
 He is commonly associated with Black orientalism and emerged as one of the leading figures in contemporary Nigerian journalism, writing a highly influential column in "The Guardian" of Lagos.
Betye Irene Saar (born July 30, 1926 in Los Angeles, California) is an American artist known for her work in the medium of assemblage, but is also a visual storyteller and an accomplished printmaker.
[1] Saar was a part of the Black Arts Movement in the 1970s, which engaged myths and stereotypes about race and femininity.
 Her work is considered highly political, as she challenged negative ideas about African-Americans throughout her career.
Gerald Williams (born 1941, Chicago, Illinois) is an American visual artist whose work has been influential within the Black Arts Movement, a transnational aesthetic phenomenon that first manifested in the 1960s and continues to evolve today.
 Williams was a founding member of AfriCOBRA.
 His work has been featured in exhibitions at some of the most important museums in the world, including the Tate Modern, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, the Studio Museum in Harlem, and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia.
 In addition to his influence as a contemporary artist, he has served in the Peace Corps, taught in the public schools systems of Chicago and Washington, D.C., and served as an Arts and Crafts Center Director for the United States Air Force.
 In 2015, he moved back to his childhood neighborhood of Woodlawn, Chicago, where he currently lives and works.
Etheridge Knight (April 19, 1931 – March 10, 1991) was an African-American poet who made his name in 1968 with his debut volume, "Poems from Prison".
 The book recalls in verse his eight-year-long sentence after his arrest for robbery in 1960.
 By the time he left prison, Knight had prepared a second volume featuring his own writings and works of his fellow inmates.
 This second book, first published in Italy under the title "Voce negre dal carcere," appeared in English in 1970 as "Black Voices from Prison".
 These works established Knight as one of the major poets of the Black Arts Movement, which flourished from the early 1960s through the mid-1970s.
 With roots in the Civil Rights Movement, Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam, and the Black Power Movement, Etheridge Knight and other American artists within the movement sought to create politically engaged work that explored the African-American cultural and historical experience.
Sassafrass, Cypress & Indigo is a 1982 novel written by Ntozake Shange and first published by St. Martin's Press.
 The novel, which took eight years to complete, is a story of three Black sisters, whose names give the book its title, and their mother.
 The family is based in Charleston, South Carolina, and their trade is to spin, weave, and dye cloth; unsurprisingly, this tactile creativity informs the lives of the main characters as well as the style of the writing.
 "Sassafrass, Cypress & Indigo" integrates the whole of an earlier work by Shange called simply "Sassafrass," published in 1977 by Shameless Hussy Press.
 As is common in Shange's work, the narrative is peppered with interludes that come in the form of letters, recipes, dream stories and journal entires, which provide a more intimate approach to each woman's journey toward self-realization and fulfillment.
 The book deals with several major themes, including Gullah/Geechee culture, women in the arts, the Black Arts Movement, and spirituality, among many others.
Joe Overstreet (born 1933) is an American painter who lives and works in New York City.
 In the 1950s and early 1960s he was associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement.
 During the Civil Rights Movement he became known for works such as "Strange Fruit" and "The New Jemima", which reflected his interest in contemporary social issues and the Black Arts Movement.
 He also worked with Amiri Baraka as the Art Director for the Black Arts Repertory Theatre and School in Harlem, and in 1974 he co-founded Kenkeleba House, an East Village gallery and studio.
 In the 1980s he returned to figuration with his "Storyville" paintings, which recall the New Orleans jazz scene of the early 1940s.
 His work draws on a variety of influences, including his own African-American and Native American heritage, and has been exhibited in galleries around the world.
Erica Hunt (born March 12, 1955) is a U.S. poet, essayist, teacher, mother, and organizer from New York City.
 She is often associated with the group of Language poets from her days living in San Francisco in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but her work is also considered central to the avant garde black aesthetic developing after the Civil Rights Movement and Black Arts Movement.
 Through the 1990s and 2000s, Hunt worked with several non-profits that encourage black philanthropy for black communities and causes.
 From 1999 to 2010, she was executive director of the 21st Century Foundation located in Harlem.
 Currently, she is writing and teaching at Wesleyan University.
"Where We At" Black Women Artists, Inc. (WWA) was a collective of black women artists affiliated with the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
 It included artists such as Dindga McCannon, Kay Brown, Faith Ringgold, Jerri Crooks, Charlotte Kâ (Richardson), and Vivian E. Browne.
 It was formed in the spring of 1971, in the wake of an exhibition of the same name organized by 14 black women artists at the Acts of Art Gallery in Greenwich Village.
 Themes such as the unity of the Black family, Black male-female relationships, contemporary social conditions, and African traditions were central to the work of the WWA artists.
 The group was intended to serve as a source of empowerment for African-American women, providing a means for them to control their self-representation and to explore issues of Black women’s sensibility and aesthetics.
 Like AfriCobra, a Chicago-based Black Arts group, the WWA was active in fostering art within the African-American community and using it as a tool of awareness and liberation.
 The group organized workshops in schools, hospitals, and cultural centers, as well as art classes for youth in their communities.
