A unique and timeless guide to American government and its electoral process--as relevant today as when it was first published in 1972--from the voice of black consciousness, cultural icon Dick Gregory, the incomparable satirist, human rights and environmental activist, health advocate, social justice champion, and author of the NAACP Image Award-winning Defining Moments in Black History: Reading Between the Lies and the classic bestseller Nigger: An Autobiography.

For most of his life, Richard Claxton "Dick" Gregory worked to educate Americans about the issues--and the forces of power--shaping their lives. A brilliant and informed student of the American experiment, he viewed and understood politics with an acuity few possess. Nearly fifty years ago, on the eve of Richard M. Nixon's reelection, he wrote a classic guide to the American political system for ordinary folks. Today, when American democracy is threatened, his primer is more necessary than ever before.

In Dick Gregory's Political Primer, Gregory presents a series of lessons accompanied by review questions to educate and empower every citizen. He provides amusing, concise, and clear information and commentary on the nature of political parties, the three branches of government and how they operate, how the campaign process works and the costs, and more. Gregory offers imaginative comparisons such as the Hueys--Long, the populist Louisiana governor and Newton, the cofounder of the Black Panthers--and numerological parallels between Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. He also includes a trenchant glossary that offers insights into some of the major players, terms, and institutions integral to our democracy and government.

An essential guide to American history unlike any other, Dick Gregory's Political Primer joins the ranks of classics such as Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, and is essential reading for every American.

This stuff has a strong scent. Sort of beachy, sunscreen smell, which is not my favorite. It is definitely shimmery. I used this for a hawaiian themed party. It was pretty! It dried down fairly quickly. I did place a towel down in my car before I got in it just in case some of it came off the back of my legs and got all over the seat. I wear black pants to work most days, and didn't want a glitter butt every day.

LOVE this product! Bought few bottles because they were on sale. You get such a nice bronze glow. I dont just use on face I put around collar bone area, legs and arms. Subtle glitter and glisten. You dont need a lot. One pumps is small amount, but goes a long way. I get lots of compliments when sun or light hits just right. LOVE LOVE LOVE

***Please read whole review for full story. Product is good. Delivery was issue.
Color: Light Rose Gold Body Glow, Color: Light Rose Gold Body Glow
I had ordered a bunch of items at once; but within the large box they came in that had no signs of forced entry, there were 2 boxes that were clearly busted open and tampered with, and unfortunately the body shimmer oil was one of them. You can see that someone opened it, and had to go through the plastic to do so, and this makes it concerning for health/safety issues when ultimately using the product. (Speaking in terms of people putting fentanyl on everything). Thankfully I don’t think that’s the case, and the body shimmer oil works as described. I have fair skin and personally I think the shimmer itself isn’t overwhelming or underwhelming- it’s just right. My only issue is that I’m sensitive to perfumes and I find the scent disturbs my respiratory system a bit, making me cough. If that’s not an issue for you, this is a good product.
