    This special Supplement welcomes Amiri Baraka, aka LeRoi Jones, back into the Euro-American avant-garde fold. Fifty years from now when negroes and others take English, that's what they'll read: LeRoi Jones (aka Amiri Baraka) was at the cutting edge of mid-twentieth century American literature. Black Arts and Black Consciousness and Black Liberation will be explained away in a footnote like Harlem (a Negro area in New York) in the Norton Antholog…
