Malcom X, "Confronting White Oppression", Feb 14 1965, Ford Auditorium, Detroit, MI.
Gertrude, last name unknown, homeless and sweet, downtown Jackson, MS.

Text from:
Captain G.L. Sullivan, "Dhow Chasing in Zanzibar Waters", 1873.

      My copy came with two different "art prints"
      This album is much different from the other chapters. It took me awhile to come to with that. Coffee and a deep, focused listen will reveal much.

        Very interesting dark ambient noise drone coming from an Avant-jazz musician.
