As much as I have a new-found appreciation for comic books/graphic novels and their ability to take on serious subjects, I think there are still some instances where the cartoonishness/comicsness of the images might detract from the seriousness of what is being discussed.
Because of this, I have decided to post real pictures that show the same things that are illustrated in Stuck Rubber Baby.
George Wallace= "The Chopper" on steroids
Protest
Dogs at a Protest
This book is filled with songs, and the following video demonstrates the type of songs found throughout the novel. The song that is sung on p. 55 is right near the beginning of the video. When the video talks about churches, I think it captures the spirit and mindset of Rev. Pepper and the Biracial Equality League.
