Poet G’Ra George Hines has been a well-respected member of the Chicago arts community for the past 50 years, performing with members of the Association for the Advancement of the Creative Musicians and appearing in various theater productions.

His work documents the struggles of the ’60s and ’70s in urban America and the social consciousness of what is ahead.
