A Black Thang - Donald Powell

. .

Résumé :
From the clothes they wear - to the way they lay their hair, with a little color, hot sauce, soul, and extra, Black folks have had the most profound effect and influence on the look, sound, flavor, and attitude of world culture and society than any other race - period! Intended to help relate, reminisce, and hoodicate - this collection of over 200 illustrations from Afros to dookies, grits to chitlins, the lectric to the wobble, - takes a deep peep into the world or hood of no doubt, the loudest, most colorful, and off-the-hook peoples on the earf - no cap! While most of this pictorial will have you weak, it can have you sad, buggin, or downright mizzad! But don't trip - cos it's all good, and the brutha's and sister's are too busy chillin on a poach, hangin at the pork, kickin at the crib, sharin music with everybody whether they want to hear it or not, parked in the middle of the street, dancin, or loud-talkin somebody, doin too much, actin bran-new, and thankin they all that! So come fam and roll with a brutha tru the good, bad, ugly, pride, and flava of the Black experience - AKA A Black Thang.
