Ntozake Shange

Shange was a black woman, furious with her double subjugation in the black male world. After unsuccessfully attempting suicide multiple times, Shange decided to instead focus her rage into art and created a new work called a "choreopoem" which incorporated dance, music, drama and poetry into one. She was a hit. I am not sure what movement to classify her in, because she was a part of so many. She was a feminist, a black rights activist, a poet, a dancer, a theatre aficionado, etc. Ihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOy8XmA9hBc

Because of the versatility and artistic uniqueness of her work, I thought it would do Ntozake better justice to provide a link than text.
