...Bushandas are not particularly militant or radical. Young blacks are in many ways just as square and conservative as their white counterparts, if not more so. The point is that We're a Winner stresses black pride, and as Watts has grown worse over the years, these students do need a sense of pride. In my day, it was a rare bird who sported an Afro; now Afros are conservative, and the new style is crocheted caps with tassels, some in the liberation colors of red, green and black...
