Publisher's Summary

"This important book on social revolution in America in the late '60s has been recommended for anyone who is puzzled by increasing evidences of unrest in urban ghettos, threats implied in Black Power slogans, the sense of futility and failure...arising from the Black...population." (Chicago Sun Times)

Here is the Dick Gregory (1932 -2017) of the devastating wit and pointed humor known to millions. Here, too, is the impassioned social reformer, speaking out on such subjects as respect for law, order, and justice; violence and police brutality; the breakdown of Negro families; civil disobedience; and other vital issues. 

"There is a great social revolution going on in America today," Dick Gregory declares. "And the wonderful thing about this revolution is that it is not Black against White. It is simply right against wrong." 

"I never learned hate at home, or shame. I had to go to school for that." (Dick Gregory)

The shadow that scares me

We should seek to be aware of the circumstances of the life of others. A very sobering book. An added addition to your library. You won’t be disappointed.
