About the book
"With sensitivity and perception and a deep conviction, Dick Gregory offers in this book bitingly satiric comments and criticisms of Negro as well as White attitudes towards the problem of civil rights. One thing he declares is "..the wonderful thing about this revolution is that it is not about black against white. It is simply right against wrong."
Subjects: Civil rights, African Americans, Blacks
