Back in the day, I was just a kid. Leisure suits and afros ruled the style world. Platforms, minis and micros. Puff balls and pork chop sideburns. Gigantic hoop earrings, mood rings, turquoise and silver spoon bracelets.
There was always talk about "The Revolution". Brothers and Sisters converting to the Nation or some other underground movement aspiring to catapult us into the realm of power.
Blacklights and house parties. Cruising the park till way after dark. Lots of " Love " being made and in the midst of it all, the proverbial peace sign being thrown. Tie dye and dashikis. Bell bottoms and halters. Diamonds in the back, sunroof tops, Boone's Farm and Ripple.
The movement for equal rights, voters rights, fair housing. And of course The War was going on... And we were going to War.
