Reissued as part of Collectables' Black History Series, Poetry Is Black is essentially a reissue of the Last Poets' album Right On! with a different running order from the original. This is outspoken street poetry from 1970, dedicated to raising black consciousness. Aside from the direct political diatribe, the foreshadowing of rap is heard on "James Brown," "Soul," "Puerto Rican Rhythms," and "Jazz." ~ Al Campbell, Rovi
