Sonia Sanchez moved in the same circles as Amiri Bakara and Larry Neal in Greenwich Village, New York, where she conducted her own writers' workshop. During the early 1960's she was not a separatist like Bakara and Neal; instead she supported integration of the races. However, after studying the teachings of Malcolm X, and following his assassination in 1965, she aligned with the separatists and explored black identity from this viewpoint.
