Not sure where to put this genre wise. It's both social criticism and humor. Very slight. The whole book consists only of 1 short saying per page.

Small illustrated book.

Poetry, race and social commentary, humor, and illustrations.

A book specific to the late 60's early 70s that holds relevance to today's movement. Book comments on George B. Wallace, redlining, segregation, the Vietnam War, Civil Rights movement, and arguing for another Black revolution. Reminds me a bit of the television show "Random Acts of Flyness'" first episode repetition of the use of BLACKFACE and NOT BLACKFACE.
