Every time I hear Jim Croce's *Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown*, I think of you, Bigger Thomas.

As big and dumb as a man can come, that's you.

What were you thinking when you carried your boss's drunken daughter into her bedroom? How did you think this would end well?

Rereading Richard #Wright's #NativeSon. The intro. includes this quotation from Irving Howe: "[The novel] made impossible a repetition of the old lies [and] brought out into the open, as no one ever had before, the hatred, fear and violence that have crippled and may yet destroy our culture." #bannedbooks

🧵 : For #GivingTuesday I'd like to highlight #NativeSon founded by the inimitable Emil Wilbekin. If you were a fan of the Vibe Magazine back in the day (late 90s to early 00s) he started out as the style editor to becoming the editor-in-chief, bringing you some of the most ICONIC covers in R&B/Hip-Hop history.
