One of the highlights of my childhood was being published in the editorial section all of the Milestone books in their third month of publication (_Hardware_ #3, _Blood Syndicate_ #2, and _Icon_ #1) #memories

Here is an Afrocentric story but it was written by a white man and is rather old.
Black Man's Burden & Border, Breed nor Birth (1963) by Mack Reynolds
These are free in Project Gutenberg, the 3rd book of the trilogy was not published until 1978 and is not in the public domain. So only the first two are from before Gadaffi came to power.
The book "Understanding Libya Since Gadaffi" by Ulf Laessing is very interesting in comparison to the North Africa trilogy since Obama and Hillary Clinton were involved in his death. Now Libya is an even worse mess. Libya is mentioned 16 times in the 3rd book of the trilogy, The Best Ye Breed.
I find it intellectually perverse to think that MLK & Malcolm X could have read those two books. What would they have thought?
