Harry Dolan
Harry Dolan is formerly known as one of the writers and the director of the Watts Writers Workshop created by Budd Schulberg. Starting off as a janitor and becoming one of the most serious African American writers of his time, Harry Dolan has truly made a name for himself. Through his contributions and efforts in the Watts Writers’ Workshop he raised awareness in the nation’s racial conflict during the 1960s.
==Watts Writers Workshop==
"The Workshop participants had one thing in common: a desire to write—poetry, essay, and stories based on life experiences. Often their writings laid bare ‘the angers, fears, frustrations’ of the people living in Watts". In 1966 Harry Dolan, along with Schulberg and Johnie Scott, testified before "the Ribicoff Committee of the United States Congress, which was investigating urban dislocation and the problems of African Americans living in American cities". This was just one of the redefining opportunities that the Workshop created for themselves that year.
"The individual words of the writers in the Workshop changed the perception of post-1965 Watts from the National Guard—studded streets to an active arena of spiritual and cultural struggle". In his "short prose piece," ''Will There Be Another Riot in Watts?'' Dolan's writing style gave a voice to the topic of "cultural blindness toward 'injustice'". The author drew "attention to the severity of the issue," and ultimately, "achieved a forum".
