about some dude Roi Kwabena.... was born in 1956 so I assume his work is around that time, his poem on there called "A letter from the sea lots" is talking about hardships of where he is from.
I don't know if it's what you need, but it was a quick search find kinda deal.

honestly - hardships in that time period is a key
thanks bro for the quickcheck

BUT
please continue helping to others, all is needed

that's what the poem is all about

yeah, i read the hangman one aswell...fits a bit more

im looking for shit involving
crimes, racism, poverty, hardships (all in 1) and hangman hits it pretty nicly, but i wanna see for more.

OH - and a visual piece of artwork would help emitting the same image of poverty, racism, etc.

for what class?
