Outer City Blues is the debut book of a black suburbanite who studied inner-city oppression from afar. Beyond the reach and under the radar of society's broken system, he collected and refined rare pieces of scattered knowledge-forging them into a powerful narrative of past, present, and perhaps future weapons of white privilege. America's ruling class believes common people cannot be trusted with their own intellectual freedom, that they are better off learning elaborate lies instead of plain truth. This groundbreaking collection of poetry and prose was written on the assumption that the ruling class is wrong. For this reason, Outer City Blues is among the most dangerous books in America.It is a collection of knowledge and of sorrow, for one cannot exist without the other. Those who prefer blissful ignorance dare not read its pages; once you do, there is no returning to things as they were. An eye-opening preface sets the tone for this transformative read and sheds light on white America's darkest secrets. In addition to original poetry and selected scripture, the pages of this must-read collection also contain the never-before-seen poems of his late father, who was wrongfully imprisoned at the height of the Civil Rights movement. Included are rare photographs of handwritten pages penned at Fort Leavenworth in 1967.
