LIVE STREAMING: Homegoing of Poet Amiri Baraka at the Newark Symphony Hall, New Jersey
Sorry that I am late with this. I am not a coding wonder. There is no guarantee that it will be repeated on a loop after the ceremony is over. UPDATE (2:32 p.m. Central Time): It IS being looped for several hours. Danny Glover, actor and Woodie King, drama director and playwright, are officiating at the funeral. I cannot vouch for the quality of the transmission. It is what it is.
It started around 10 a.m. Eastern Time. The end of Ras Baraka’s eulogy will mark the end of the ceremonies. A lot of good jazz, good poetry, good oratory. Cornel West, Michael Eric Dyson, Sonia Sanchez, Savion Glover, and Sister Souljah are just a few of the luminaries who are going to speak.
