The Cotillion
Reviews

"The current crop of young readers will be amazed to discover Lumumba's rapping prowess that precedes hip-hop culture by some ten years. In this way, and in so many others, Killens forged an alternative style, a new way of distilling black culture, and making it resonate with fresh vigor and integrity."
