Description

This cartoon appeared in the November 2, 1971 issue of the Florida Sentinel Bulletin, an African American newspaper in Tampa. The artist’s depiction of an African American family watching a white family on television highlights the political importance of popular culture in race politics. Columnist Johnny Jacobs wrote an entertainment report on “Tampa’s Night Beat” in the same issue. Jacobs praised a recent performance by singer Joe Tex at the local “Club Oasis.” Popular entertainment and politics were near neighbors in African American newspapers like the Florida Sentinel Bulletin.
