Today’s Afro American, The Invisible Slave
Chattanooga, TN: W.D. Clark II, 1979. First Edition. 81 pp., with 12 illustrations. VG+ in illustrated wrappers (light rubbing and soiling). INSCRIBED on inside of front cover to singer and activist Harry Belafonte: “Mr. Belafonte, I know you are an action man that desires to see equality for all people. Please help me any way you can. Thanks W.D. Clark II.”
In his opening “Dear Readers” statement, Clark writes that “This book was written in hope of showing the in-depth castration of the Negro’s mind during slavery” and “to show why Ignorance and Racism prevails in America today.” Religion permeates these pages, as Clark writes that “No longer am I a negative destructive man of no goals, but a positive free Black man dedicated to spreading the truth about Jesus and His teaching.” Contents include: Basic Needs Food, Clothes and Shelter, Freedom on Paper, Gaming on the Blacks, Why the Past, I Am a Man, Respect Me, Accept Me, King: A Modern Day David Whips Goliath, Racism, Hatred, and Big Money—A Deadly Evil Force, and Controlling and Pacifying the Blacks with Tokenism.
