Hawkins, a native of the Westside/Southside ghettos of Chicago, relocated to Watts, California in 1966. His instructors in the Watts Writer's Workshop were Louise Meriwether, John W. Bloc, Robert Levin and Harlan Ellison. John W. Bloch was the one who took him to the Robinson-Weinstraub Agency for a number of interesting projects.
