After leav-ing Howard University and the Air Force\, he moved to the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 1957 and co-edited the avant-garde literary magazine Yugen and founded Totem Press\, which first published works by Allen Ginsberg\, Jack Kerouac\, and others.He published his first volume of poetry\, Preface to a Twenty-Volume Suicide Note\, in 1961 His Blues People: Negro Music in White America (1963) is still regarded as the seminal work on Afro-American music and culture. He also edited The Moderns: An Anthology of New Writing in America\, published in 1963. His reputation as a play-wright was established with the production of Dutchman at Cherry Lane Theatre in New York on March 24\, 1964. The controversial play subsequently won an Obie Award for Best Off-Broadway Play and was made into a film. The play was revived by Cherry Lane Theatre in January 2007 and has been reproduced around the world. \nIn 1965\, Jones moved to Harlem where he founded the Black Arts Repertory Theatre/School. BARTS lasted only one year but had a lasting influence on the direction of Afro American Arts. BARTS sent five trucks a day into the Harlem community — art show on one truck\, poetry reading from the other\, music on another\, drama the other – where performances would be given in a changed location each day. Vacant lots\, playgrounds\, and housing projects pushed art that would be Black as Bessie Smith\, mass-based\, revolutionary\, and taken to the people; reflecting the intensity of the entire Black Liberation Movement.In 1966\, when BARTS was dissolved\, Baraka returned to Newark\, his hometown\, and set up with his wife\, Amina Baraka – who was a founder of Newark’s “Loft” a local venue of contemporary – The Spirit House and The Spirit House Movers\, that brought drama\, music and poetry from across the country. During this period\, the Barakas founded The Committee for Unified Newark (CFUN) and The Congress of Afrikan People. Both CFUN and The Congress of Afrikan People led the election of Kenneth A. Gibson as the first Black Mayor of a major northeastern city spearheaded by the 1972 Gary (IN) Convention. In 1968\, Baraka co-edited Black Fire: Anthology of Afro-American Writing with Larry Neal.Amiri and Amina Baraka edited The Music: Meditations of Jazz & Blues (Morrow) and Confirmation: An Anthology of African-American Women\, which won an American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation. The Autobiography of LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka was published in 1984.
