{"product_id":"sumdumhonky","title":"Sumdumhonky","description":"Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Lloyd Price wrote the essays in this book to empower readers. Each essay conveys a different emotion, and is about a pivotal time in his life. Readers meet cruel and racist townsfolk of his youth in his hometown of Kenner, Louisiana. Then there are the bigoted police officers and salesmen, along with an eye-opening trip to Africa. Throughout, Lloyd Price grabs readers and pulls them into his life as a black man growing up in the Deep South many decades ago. Lloyd also deftly reminds everyone, no matter what his or her color, where America was sixty, seventy, eighty years ago in terms of race. And, where we are today. Throughout, we learn of his music, music that changed the course of history, music that changed the world. sumdumhonky is a finalist in the Foreword INDIEFAB awards for Performing Arts.\nLloyd Price is not just a pioneer of rock n roll, he just might well be the founding father. ––Offbeat Magazine\nTimes have changed since I was born more than eighty years ago. Blacks can now drink from the same water fountain as white people, eat at the same restaurants, ride in the front on public transportation, get a bank loan, hold jobs in management and we don t get lynched quite as often as we used to. ––Lloyd Price, sumdumhonky\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1935270354\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1935270354.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Price, Lloyd\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
