Organization of Black American Culture : ウィキペディア英語版 | Organization of Black American Culture The Organization of Black American Culture (OBAC) was conceived during the era of the Civil Rights Movement by Hoyt W. Fuller as a collective of writers, artists, historians, educators, intellectuals, community activists, and others. Founded on Southside Chicago in May 1967, OBAC aimed to coordinate artistic support in the struggle for freedom, justice and equality of opportunity for African Americans. The organization had workshops for visual arts, theater, and writing. Among those associated at various times with the OBAC Writers Workshop are founding member Don L. Lee (now Haki Madhubuti), Carolyn Rodgers, Angela Jackson, Sterling Plumpp, Sam Greenlee, Nikki Giovanni, Sonia Sanchez, and many other writers of national stature.〔(Black Arts Interactive. )〕 The Theater Workshop eventually led to the first black theater in Chicago, the Kuumba Theater. Members of the OBAC Visual Workshop produced a mural dedicated to African-American heroes such as Muhammad Ali, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Malcolm X, known as the "Wall of Respect".〔(Timeline, Perceptions of Black. )〕 The artists involved included William Walker, Wadsworth Jarrell and Jeff Donaldson, who has written of the collective's determination to produce a "collaborative work as a contribution to the community".〔(Jeff Donaldson, "The Rise, Fall and Legacy of the Wall of Respect Movement", in ''International Review of African American Art'', vol. 15 no. 1 (1991), pp. 22-26. )〕 Donaldson went on to found the Coalition of Black Revolutionary Artists (COBRA), later renamed the African Commune of Bad Relevant Artists (AfriCOBRA)〔(AfriCOBRA website. )〕 in support of Pan-Africanism. ==References==
