Description
Before you understand the slickheads, you must understand the Oxfords: a social club started in Baltimore in the late '80s by Lawrence Jackson with his two friends Charm Sawyer and Piccolo Breaks. "More or less just the little guys with round glasses from our block, plus an off-brand or two from the Avenue — North or Wabash — or from the Heights — Liberty or Park." In this single from n+1 (Issue 15), Lawrence Jackson delivers a lucid account of growing up black in Baltimore.
