    Extractions: Following the election, State Rep. Tyrone Brooks of Atlanta introduced legislation to end cross-party voting. He argued it was unethical to have Republicans provide the margin of victory in a Democratic race. Despite her defeat (perhaps because of it), McKinney, 49, has become even more popular among African-Americans and progressives in her district and beyond. Many now consider her a heroic figure, and revelations in the 9/11 hearings make her previous comments prophetic. The Green Party even mounted an attempt to draft her as its presidential candidate, an offer McKinney reportedly was considering. Author Bio-Salim Muwakkil is a senior editor of In These Times, where he has worked since 1983, and an op-ed columnist for the Chicago Tribune. He is currently a Crime and Communities Media Fellow of the Open Society Institute, examining the impact of ex-inmates and gang leaders in leadership positions in the black community.

    Extractions: ChickenBones: A Journal Home Amiri Baraka (Leroi Jones) Poet, Dramatist, Music Critic A Brief Bio Amiri Baraka was born in 1934, in Newark, New Jersey, USA. The author of over 40 books of essays, poems, drama, and music history and criticism, Baraka is a poet icon and revolutionary political activist who has recited poetry and lectured on cultural and political issues extensively in the USA, the Caribbean, Africa and Europe. With influences on his work ranging from musical orishas such as Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, Theophilus Monk, and Sun Ra to the Cuban Revolution, Malcolm X and world revolutionary movements, Baraka is renown as the founder of the Black Arts Movement in Harlem in the 1960s that became, though short-lived, the virtual blueprint for a new American theater aesthetics. The movement and his published and performance work, such as the signature study on African-American music, Blues People (1963) and the play Dutchman (1963) practically seeded “the cultural corollary to black nationalism” of that revolutionary American milieu.
