BIOGRAPH
Don L. Lee was born in 1 42. He is a militant African American poet, critic,
publisher, editor, and spokesperson — the most vocal and best known of the
Chicago school of Black Arts writers who emerged in the late 1 60’s, and the
one of them who has managed to remain in the spotlight as a literary figure.
He changed his name to Haki R. Madhubuti in 1 73.
His mother’s struggle to overcome poverty, addiction, and degradation while
raising her children had a powerful impact on Madhubuti’s life, and he credits
her as the wellspring of his intellectual development.
