Baraka reads “On the Money,” “Inside Out,” “An American Oppressed Story,” “Sparky, Like, This is What I Meant,” “Afro American Lyric,” “Malcolm Remembered, February 1977,” “Reprise of One of A.G.'s Best Poems” (a rewrite of Allen Ginsberg's “America”), “Dope,” and “All Reaction is Doomed.” Baraka also fields questions about Mao Zedong, mediating errors in revolution, fighting oppression, his experience circulating literature and giving readings for workers, armed revolution, socialist revolution in Chile as an example of failed revolution because of no public armament, and the political circumstances of Pablo Neruda's death.
