A unique and timeless guide to American government and its electoral process--as relevant today as when it was first published in 1972--from the voice of black consciousness, cultural icon Dick Gregory, the incomparable satirist, human rights and environmental activist, health advocate, social justice champion, and author of the NAACP Image Award-winning Defining Moments in Black History: Reading Between the Lies and the classic bestseller Nigger: An Autobiography.

For most of his life, Richard Claxton "Dick" Gregory worked to educate Americans about the issues--and the forces of power--shaping their lives. A brilliant and informed student of the American experiment, he viewed and understood politics with an acuity few possess. Nearly fifty years ago, on the eve of Richard M. Nixon's reelection, he wrote a classic guide to the American political system for ordinary folks. Today, when American democracy is threatened, his primer is more necessary than ever before.

In Dick Gregory's Political Primer, Gregory presents a series of lessons accompanied by review questions to educate and empower every citizen. He provides amusing, concise, and clear information and commentary on the nature of political parties, the three branches of government and how they operate, how the campaign process works and the costs, and more. Gregory offers imaginative comparisons such as the Hueys--Long, the populist Louisiana governor and Newton, the cofounder of the Black Panthers--and numerological parallels between Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. He also includes a trenchant glossary that offers insights into some of the major players, terms, and institutions integral to our democracy and government.

An essential guide to American history unlike any other, Dick Gregory's Political Primer joins the ranks of classics such as Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, and is essential reading for every American.

Gentle and Effective Daily Lotion for Baby
We’ve been using Eucerin Baby Body Lotion on our son every day, and it’s been very good. It keeps his skin soft, hydrated, and protected, even in the hot and humid southern weather. It absorbs quickly and isn't greasy. One of the best parts is how gentle it is, we apply it to his whole body, including his face, and even if it gets near his eyes or mouth, he doesn’t fuss or cry. It’s also pediatrician-recommended and fragrance-free, which is always a giant plus. We’ve had zero issues with irritation or dryness since switching to this, and we’ll definitely keep it as part of our daily routine. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a safe, effective, and affordable baby lotion.

Really good baby lotion
Recently purchased this, I was skeptical given that I’ve never used river in brand on any of my babies skin, I tried so many different baby lotions (unscented & for sensitive skin) and this one so far has been working great! It isn’t too greasy and my baby’s skin is definitely improving

Works great for dry skin!
I stumbled across this product when looking for a new lotion for my 2 month olds super dry skin. I tried several lotions until finally this one worked. It is fragrance free which is a huge plus. It was vent gentle on my babies skin and helped with her dry skin fairly quick. This is a staple in our nighttime routine now! Only thing I do not love about it, is that it is a little thin/liquidly which I personally don't like. Overall, great product and would re buy!

Great Baby Lotion!
Love this lotion for my baby. It keeps her skin soft and smooth and absorbs quickly. I even use on myself at times as well.

Amazing for sensitive babies
This lotion is amazing!! My baby girl has extremely sensitive skin nothing worked for her and other well known brands kept creating irritation for her. Her pediatrician recommended this brand and it truly soothes her skin with no irritation, moistures beautifully all day long and has a light refreshing scent! It’s a must have for babies that are extra sensitive! Pairs well with the body wash as well.
