The Little Black Book - Black Survival Guide - Published in 1985 - By Carol Taylor

SINCE 1985, THIS SURVIVAL MANUAL HAS HELPED BLACK MOTHERS HAVE "THE CONVERSATION" TO HELP BLACK MALES SURVIVE ENCOUNTERS WITH POLICE IN THE STREETS OF AMERICA. IT LAYS OUT RULES ON WHAT TO DO DURING POLICE ENCOUNTERS AND GENERAL SURVIVAL IN "AN INSTITUTIONALLY RACIST/COLORIST" SOCIETY.

IN FEBRUARY 2023, AN ORDER CAME IN WITH A LETTER FROM HARRIETT C. WHICH SAID "THE PAMPHLET WAS HELPFUL FOR MY SONS AND IT IS NEEDED FOR THEIR CHILDREN."

"THIS SURVIVAL MANUAL IS FOR THOSE BLACK AFRICAN MALES WHO WISH TO FACE THE REALITY OF URBAN LIVING AND DYING....FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT TO SHUT THEIR EYES, HIDE THEIR HEADS, COVER THEIR EARS, 'LEAVE IT TO GOD,' OR FEEL THAT, 'IT CAN'T HAPPEN TO ME.'"
