Black Is Right Enough
Success Through Generations
This cartoon depicts achievements of Philadelphia's Black Elite or Black Bourgeoisie class Though an exaggeration, it illustrates the same drive among Blacks to live the "American Dream" as presented by wealthy Americans.
The same has been true throughout our sojourn from slavery to yesterday morning. Knowing our success stories busts myths of the sorrowful, lazy Negro under achiever.
