Marvin X returns to his academy of da Corner on 14th and Broadway, renamed the Black Arts Movement District.

Menhuaim, Academy of da Corner student, celebrates the return of Master Teacher Marvin X to 14th and Broadway, renamed the Black Arts Movement District. Menhuaim says, "Marvin X has a way of translating grand philosophical ideas into language a brother on the street can understand, e.g., pay your pussy bill!"
 
After an absence of many months, Marvin was mobbed by street people who sincerely missed him. When it was time to depart, a student begged him, "Oh, Master Teacher, please do not leave me here with these ignut nigguhs, please don't go, please. Don't leave me in darkness!" Another brother had missed him so much he bowed before the Master Teacher and got down on his knees in respect and honor. photo Adam Turner
