Civil rights were talked about, but every black knew talk was cheap and that the blacks were going to stay at the bottom of the pile.
On a dark and stormy night a bolt of lightning split the southern sky, and a young giant arose to take revenge for 200 years of slavery and oppression. This was Stagger Lee, armed with a white Stetson hat, a blazing .44 and a message for black men everywhere.
There was hope and a new future. All they had to do was believe the LEGEND OF STAGGER LEE.
