NFT Launches Kickstarter campaign for Amiri Baraka's MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN AMERICA

Amiri Baraka

Dear NFT friends & supporters, 

This is NFT's Kickstarter campaign for Amiri Baraka's Most Dangerous Man in America (W.E.B. DuBois). Please give it a look and help me by donating. The legacy of Amiri Baraka, who passed one year ago, January 9, is alive and vibrant on stages, in cafes and centers around the world, in the realm of social and traditional media and in the hearts of his family and friends. This month, some of his closest friends of New York City theatre are kick starting an effort to raise funds for the May production of the prolific writer-activist's last play, written in 2011: Most Dangerous Man in America (W.E.B. DuBois). Click the "Kickstarter" button below to see the selection of 200 gifts that we will be sending to all those we donate!
