w:st="on">California</st1:State></st1:place>, something they have done for
more than thirty years. These progenitors of hip-hop came out of the <st1:place
w:st="on">Watts</st1:place> riots of 1965 as angry, disillusioned teenagers,
and were recruited by legendary screenwriter, Budd Schulberg (On the Waterfront)
as students for his Watts Writers Workshop. There they discovered their
strongest ally in their personal quest for justice — literacy. For the
past 40 years, the Prophets have used their gift for expressive, poetic
language as the galvanizing tool that creates empowerment, pride and
responsibility in communities of young people around the world. In 1967, these
three, the best of the students in the prestigious Watts Writers Workshop, won
their first amateur talent contest as a nameless group. But then, after they
recited/chanted/ spoke/sung/witnessed their unique jazz-accompanied topical
poem, an audience member - dazzled by their performance - shouted, “They
must be the Watts Prophets!”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
