Summary

"There's a big breakdown between what is happening with the art and what's happening with the reality of the Black community," said Walker in an interview with Columbia Television News several years ago. "Sometimes, all you need is one person to say, 'I see things differently.'"

"Before Tyler Perry had, 'The Diary of a Mad Black Woman' there was 'For The Love of My Black Woman' by my father," said [Tajmal Walker]. "Spike Lee had 'Malcolm X.' My father had a tribute to Malcolm X, being a student under Betty Shabazz. Conceptually, he's the originator."

Some of his other works under the Ujamaa umbrella include "Please Don't Take My Rhythm and Blues" and "Never Walk Alone with God."

Titus Walker - director of the Ujamaa Black Theater, producer, actor, playwright and activist - passed away on April 7 of colon cancer.
