It’s black foot forward at its most audacious, it’s a statement that “you can take out MLK, but I’M here. You can take ME out - but WE’RE here. 4 years ago we were on busses using colored only fountains - now they are pre-empting the #1 tv show for US. We can do it on your terms or ours. Dressed African or Bob Mackie.” It took balls to do that. Great big, huge, hairy balls to shout “free at last” to those who came to hear Baby Love - and they knew it.
Mas Que Nada was a snore. Funny Girl didn’t fit. This show was perfect the way it was.
