Cartoon on the mayor’s race that caused outrage in the black community.
The friendship that developed because of it. [Cartoonist Michael de Adder and Mayoralty candidate Darryl Johnson shake hands after a discussion over coffee.]
You both give legs to the realization I first read in The Mature Mind by Harry A Overstreet that "...unless we gain empathy for others as we grow older we'll just end up being big kids with a lot of power".
Thanks for sharing.
I have never heard of the expression “everybody and his monkey”. I’d always heard “everybody and his dog”. Regardless, it did not occur to me to see the monkey drawing as a slur on black people. Glad you were able to have a conversation that resolved the misunderstanding.
