Delights Of The Garden<\/a><\/p>\nDunno why, thought this would be a relevant upload today of all days 5th November 2008.<\/p>\n
The Last Poets performing some of the best material they ever\u00a0recorded on the massively influential LP ‘Delight’s Of The Garden’. All Last Poets material is great and well worth searching out, this LP though, in my opinion, is the best.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Last Poets always wrote from a black man perspective, lyrics specifically aimed at U.S. goverment sponsored racism\u00a0on the\u00a0home front,\u00a0and abroad, Vietnam for example, during the late 1960’s and the late 1970’s.<\/p>\n
I wonder what the surviving members think about the news of the U.S.A election victory today.<\/p>\n
As a small matter of interest, Mark Stewart And The Maffia performed a version of ‘Blessed Are Those Who Struggle’ early on in there career.<\/p>\n
There are tracks from the Last Poets debut LP, self titled, and the second LP ‘This Is Madness’ on this site if you care to search it out with the search function.<\/p>\n

After Dr Martin Luther King’s march to Washington D.C. in 1963, the ‘million man march’ in 1995 (also held in Washington D.C), five decades of focused\u00a0African American\u00a0struggle, and of course\u00a0many hundreds of years of not so\u00a0focused struggle against Uncle Sam, the U.S.A. finally has a non white president.<\/p>\n

Whether Barack Obama’s policies will\u00a0ultimately\u00a0map out a fairer future for all citizens in the U.S.A, and of course the rest of the world, remains to be seen. Let’s hope so…I remember thinking a similar thing about New Labour in 1997 and\u00a0some of those policies\u00a0by that party went tits up somewhat, domestically and further out into the wider world…<\/p>\n
Seems to me while looking at the news a lot of the day, that there is an optimism running throughout a lot of the U.S.A. and the world including China, which can not be a bad thing.<\/p>\n
Let’s see how long the optimism lasts, we will have to wait and see…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
