Kevin Powell (born April 24, 1966) is an American writer, activist, and television personality. He is the author of 14 books, including The Education of Kevin Powell: A Boy's Journey into Manhood and When We Free the World published in 2020. Powell was a senior writer during the founding years of Vibe magazine from 1992 to 1996. Powell's activism has focused on ending poverty, advocating for social justice and counteracting violence against women and girls through local, national and international initiatives. He was a Democratic candidate for the United States House of Representatives in Brooklyn, New York, in 2008 and 2010.
Powell was the curator for the first exhibit on the history of hip-hop in America at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. In 2014, he was invited by the Welsh Government to the United Kingdom for a series of lectures and workshops on the 100th birthday of 20th-century poet Dylan Thomas. As a result, he was named the International Ambassador for the Dylan Thomas Centennial in America.[1] Cornell University owns The Kevin Powell Archive,[2] documenting his work to date in print, photos, videos, books, handwritten notes, speeches, and select memorabilia, beginning with his appearance in the first season of the first television reality series, MTV's, The Real World: New York in 1992.
Powell was born and raised in Jersey City, New Jersey, where his parents met after moving from South Carolina. Abandoned by his father, Powell was raised by a single mother from the South in the one-bedroom apartment they shared with his aunt and her son.[3] Throughout a childhood marked by poverty, violence and abuse, Powell maintained a passion for reading and spent hours in the public library.[3] He credits his mother with ensuring he received a better education than her own, and for instilling in him a commitment to learning.[4] He and his cousin were the first in their family to graduate high school, and in 1984 Powell enrolled in Rutgers University through the Educational Opportunity Fund, a program created during the Civil Rights Movement to benefit poor youth.[5] His memoir, The Education of Kevin Powell: A Boy's Journey into Manhood, tells this story of his upbringing.[6]
At Rutgers, Powell studied political science, English and philosophy with the ambition of becoming a professional writer. Cheryl Wall introduced him to the critical study of Harlem Renaissance writers, including Richard Wright, Langston Hughes, Ralph Ellison, and black female authors such as Zora Neale Hurston.[7][8] Becoming immersed in classic African-American books such as The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Manchild in the Promised Land, as well as poets from the Black Arts Movement such as Sonia Sanchez, Nikki Giovanni and Amiri Baraka, he was motivated to become an activist and student leader.[7] He helped to organize support for the anti-apartheid movement, Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign and voter registration campaigns, and other social justice initiatives.[7]
Powell began his journalism career while in college as a contributing reporter to the Black American newspaper, where he covered stories such as the racially motivated killing of Michael Griffith in Howard Beach, Queens.[7] In 1992, Powell was an original cast member of The Real World: New York, the first season of the MTV reality television series in which a group of strangers live together for several months.[3] During his stay in The Real World house, Powell sparked controversial discussions with his housemates, raising incendiary issues about racial stereotypes.[9][10][11] In episode 11 of The Real World, the MTV production crew followed Powell to the Nuyorican Poet's Caf, where he was a regular participant in the open mic Poetry Slam competition, created by the caf's founder, Miguel Algarin.[12] Powell had been presenting his poetry there since 1990 when he first attended an open mic to read a poem called "For Aunt Cathy".[7] The episode is credited[by whom?] with bringing a national spotlight to the venue and popularizing the concept of a competitive poetry slam.[13][14] MTV's producers cast Powell as the host of Straight from the Hood: An MTV News Special Report. Airing in 1993, it profiled the state of affairs for young people in South Central Los Angeles following the Rodney King verdict and riots.[15]
Powell has also written reflections on his own history, such as "Letter to my Father",[26] "Me and Muhammed Ali", published in ESPN's The Undefeated blog, and "The Sexist in Me",[27] a piece that marked the beginning of his work around redefining black manhood and advocating for women and girls.[28][29][30][31] Highlights of his articles and essays include: "Between Russell Simmons and The World and Oprah", examining the allegations of rape and sexual abuse against Simmons;[32] his 2020 profile of Georgia politician Stacey Abrams in The Washington Post Magazine;[33] The New York Times piece "A Letter from a Father to a Child", a message to his future child about surviving a world filled with fear, violence, sexism and racism;[34] and The New York Times article "In Close Quarters, a Mother of 6 Battles Coronavirus", a look at the plight of an urban family facing the COVID-19 pandemic in the Bronx.[35]
Since 1992, Powell has written 14 books. His first, In the Tradition: An Anthology of Young Black Writers,[36] was co-edited with Ras Baraka and proclaimed "a new black consciousness movement", in response to the Black Power and Black Arts movements of the 1970s and 1980s.[37] More than 50 writers contributed to the book, including Elizabeth Alexander, Gordon Chambers, Tony Medina, and Willie Perdomo. Powell's second book, recognize,[38] was his first complete volume of poetry, published in 1995. In 1997, he followed with Keepin' it Real: Post MTV Reflections on Race, Sex and Politics,[39] his first solo full-length volume, a collection of essays.[40]
Powell's 2000 anthology, Step into A World: A Global Anthology of the New Black Literature, is a collection of work by more than 100 writers. Entries included pieces from Malcolm Gladwell, Daphne Brooks, Erin Aubrey, Scott Poulson-Bryant, Junot Diaz, Christopher John Farley, John Keene, Victor D. La Valle, Phyllis Alesia Perry, and Bernardine Evaristo.
In 2002, Powell returned as editor for Who Shot Ya?: Three Decades of Hip Hop Photography. It was the first major pictorial history of hip-hop culture, featuring more than 200 photographs by Ernie Paniccioli.[41] A series of essay and poetry collections followed: Who's Gonna Take The Weight? Manhood, Race, and Power in America, also published in 2002; Someday We'll All Be Free in 2006; and No Sleep Till Brooklyn, New and Selected Poems in 2008.
