Nostalgic 90s style jewel cased CD copy of THE PUBLIC WEAPON. THE PUBLIC WEAPON is a musical call to arms for modern revolution. The 10 song, 36 minute album tackles a variety of p ertinent social justice topics - featuring songs like Coke Crazed Negroes, which examines the early 20th century myth that led directly to the creation of racist drug laws and mass incarceration, The Ni***er Factory, which addresses the direct connection between enslavement and institutions of higher education, and Follow Back which dives into activism in the social media era, along with songs that shine a light on lesser known historical figures - like Nip It in the Bud which is dedicated to Charles Lewis, a black soldier lynched in his uniform after returning from World War I, and Mary's Day Off, a retelling of the heroics of Mary Touvestre, a formerly enslaved seamstress who became an unlikely spy during the Civil War.
