Black Kripple Delivers Poetry & Lyrics - by Leroy Franklin Moore (Paperback)

About the Book

This is an activist/love book of original poems and song lyrics that have been written and collected for almost two decades. Many of the pieces were first published in 1999 in a chapbook by Poor Magazine's Poor Press. Most of them touch on issues that Black disabled people deal with but only get little media attention. Here are true stories of discrimination, cases of police brutality, and love songs for the Black disabled community and for the author's family.
