Allen, Billie |
I want to ask you about another production that was a real landmark in Black theater, Funnyhouse of the Negro, by Adrienne Kennedy.
|
Baldwin, James |
I'd
like to come back to get some of your thoughts about the relationship
between Martin Luther King's appeal, that is, effectively, non-violence
and his philosophy of disciplined love for the oppressor. What is the
relationship between this and the reality of the Negro masses?
|
Baraka, Amiri |
Does
your being a Negro influence the speech patterns -- or anything else, for
that matter, in your writing? |
|
How
does Black Literature develop a sense of identity, especially going beyond
the earliest black Africans in this country, to the African roots? |
|
Can
you talk about your intentions as a Marxist artist?
|
Bearden, Romare |
When did you get the idea that you might want to be an artist?
|
Belafonte, Harry |
Now,
you were close to many musicians, too, like Duke Ellington and the great
Louis Armstrong. How did you negotiate these relationships so that you
could revel in the genius of the jazz musicians when it looked as if they
were less political than you were? Were they less political?
|
|
Bethune, Mary McLeod |
Tell
me about your own life as a student.
|
Cade-Bambara, Toni |
You dedicate The Salt Eaters to your mother for giving you the literal
space to create. Could you talk about your mother as an influence in
your artistic development?
|
Callett, Elizabeth |
How did you deal with the racism that you encountered as you were
beginning and also what is the effect of the history of the era in which
you grew up? As a young artist, how did it affect your work?
|
Clark, Mamie |
To
go back to the subject of your Master's thesis, and the -- how you
established, when children became aware of their blackness. To what extent
here were you also reacting against any poverty conditions that you saw
surrounding these children?
|
|
Could
you trace the evolution of your thinking about the impact of
self-hatred, and how this influenced you towards your next step, after you
completed these field studies?
|
Clark, Kenneth B. |
What
would you say significant has happened in the civil rights area since you
completed your other reminiscing eight, ten years ago?
|
|
How
do you feel about these black athletes as role models?
|
Cleaver, Eldridge |
You seem to alternate between advocating revolutionary violence and allowing for the possibility of
social reform without violence. Which is it going to be?
|
Davis, Thulani |
Do you consider yourself a southern writern, given your roots and the way history plays into your work?
|
Du Bois, W.E. B. |
What
did you get from Schmoller and Wagner?
|
|
He
[Washington] was a little slipper about his views, wasn't he?
|
Evers, Charles |
Did
Johnson ever talk to you about some of these programs he had in mind: the
three major bills on voting and on housing and so on, and the community
action programs?
|
|
Freed, Donald |
Were you shocked at the expulsion of David? (Hilliard)
|
Hamer, Fannie Lou. |
And
you did have a rough time before that committee?
|
|
Did
you think it was dangerous that first time you tried?
|
|
Do
you have faith that the system will ever work properly?
|
|
|
Who's
the most important black leader in the United States today?
|
Hughes, Langston |
Were
you ever a believer in socialism?
|
Jordan, Barbara |
I think the first question I'd like to ask would be how did you meet LBJ and what were your experiences with LBJ?
|
|
King, Martin Luther Jr. |
I
am very much interested in the philosophy of non-violence and particularly
I would like to understand more clearly for myself the relationship
between the direct-action non-violence technique which you have used so
effectively and your philosophy of, for want of better words I'll use,
"love of the oppressor."
|
Madhubuti, Haki |
You've
always been so unique because on the one hand you're an artist and poet
with a very sophisticated sensibility and artistic creativity. And on the
other hand an institution builder... How do you carry out both those roles
at the same time?
|
Marshall, Thurgood |
Was
there any serious debate about your being replaced by a white man?
|
|
Did...you
discuss what would happen before Congress with your confirmation?
|
Michaux, Lewis |
Can you tell me about your role in the Back to Africa movement and when
was this movement started?
|
Newton, Huey |
Would
you comment further on what you mean by Black Power?
|
Newton, Melvin |
But this also goes back to the point you were making yesterday about there being such a thin line between the middle class and working class, or underclass, within the black community.
|
Pressley, Brenda |
We're talking about Huey's first appearance in the Party Headquarters upon being released from prison. Do you remember talking to David about Huey's difficulty in communicating?
|
Robeson. Paul |
Now,
what is the essence of communism in America, in your opinion?
|
Rustin, Bayard |
Just
as a follow up footnote here, was there a little bit of envy, especially
on Roy Wilkins' part toward Martin Luther King?
|
|
|
Did
he or any of his aides ever directly contact A. Philip Randolph to ask
him, as a result, to call off the march?
|
|
Let's
identify the Big Six.
|
Wilkins, Roy |
Could you give me anything on relations between the NAACP and the Communist Party at this time?
|
X, Malcolm |
What
do you really stand for?
|
|
Is
it true, as is often said, that you favor violence?
|
|
What you're saying is the women are actually playing a part there, in Africa?
