| Abstract | Author and publisher Haki Madhubuti was born Don Luther Lee on February 23, 1942 in Little Rock, Arkansas. He received a M.F.A. degree at Iowa Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa. He served in the U.S. Army from 1960 to 1963. Madhubuti was curator at DuSable Museum of African History in 1963. During his years at the museum, Madhubuti met prominent forces in the African American arts community. He was encouraged to publish a collection of his poetry. The result, Think Black, appeared in 1966 and was entirely self-published. After promising book sales, Madhubuti realized independent publishing could be attained. Madhubuti and two partners launched the "Third World Press" in the basement of his Chicago apartment with a mimeograph machine. He became a prominent African American author without relying on established publishing companies. Madhubuti served as director of the Gwendolyn Brooks Center at Chicago State University. |
