America during the 1960s.

 1964

Ed,

Entertained America at its

Crossroads.

The Big Show introduced

Elvis,

The Singing Nun

Topo Gigio, and the

Beetles!

Here they are!

Ignored—

Segregation,

Assassination,

Riots,

Discrimination,

And Lies (Mick, don’t say those words)

America laughed, cheered, applauded and

Swooned.

It was the beginning of the end—

Old America changed on February 9.

The mopheads were soon hated!

And Dick promised a resolution—

Shew them Vietnamization, the War on Drugs, and Honor.

America…never looked back.

The final curtain fell, Man!

Still Living on my Feet by Tichaona Chinyelu

Still Living on my Feet is the follow up to Tichaona Chinyelu’s first book, In the Whirlwind, which was rooted in a sense of hard-hitting revolutionary black love. However, in this sophomore effort, Tichaona brings the revolutionary essence from deep
