    Title: I Shot The Sheriff
    I shot the sheriff
    But I didn't shoot no deputy
    Oh, no, oh
    I shot the sheriff
    But I didn't shoot no deputy
    Ooh, ooh, ooh (yeah)
    All around in my hometown
    They tryin' to track me down, yeah
    They say they want to bring me in guilty
    For the killing of a deputy
    For the life of a deputy
    But I say
    Oh, now, now, oh
    I shot the sheriff (the sheriff)
    But I swear it was in self defense (no, no)
    Ooh, ooh, ooh (yeah, I said)
    I shot the sheriff (oh, Lord)
    And they say it is a capital offense (oh now, yeah)
    Ooh, ooh, ooh (yeah, hear this)
    Sheriff John Brown always hated me
    For what? I don't know
    Every time I plant a seed
    He said, "Kill it before it grows"
    He said, "Kill them before they grow"
    And so, and so
    Read it in the news
    I shot the sheriff (oh, Lord)
    But I swear it was in self defense (where was the deputy?)
    Ooh, ooh, ooh (I said)
    I shot the sheriff
    But I swear it was in self defense
    Yeah (ooh)
    Freedom came my way one day
    And I started out of town, yeah
    All of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown
    Aiming to shoot me down
    So I shot, I shot, I shot him down
    And I say
    If I am guilty I will pay
    I shot the sheriff (but I say)
    But I didn't shoot no deputy (I didn't shoot no deputy, no)
    Oh, no, oh
    I shot the sheriff (I did)
    But I didn't shoot no deputy (oh)
    Ooh, ooh, ooh (yeah)
    Reflexes had the better of me
    And what is to be must be
    Every day the bucket a-go-a well
    One day the bottom a-go drop out
    One day the bottom a-go drop out
    I say
    I, I, I, I shot the sheriff
    Lord, I didn't shoot the deputy, no
    Yeah, I, I (shot the sheriff)
    But I didn't shoot no deputy, yeah
    So, yeah

    Don't shed no tears
    No woman, no cry, eh
    No woman, no woman, no woman, no cry

    One more time I've got to say
    Oh little, little darlin'

    No woman, no cry
    No woman
    No woman, no cry

    MY REVIEW
     
    Martin Luther King jr. once said "... to tell a bootless man to pick himself up by his bootstraps is
    a cruel jest." While the murdered leader referred to whites, once the enslavers, speaking to
    blacks, once the enslaved, in the U.S.A., the basis from which any succeed is extremely plus
    rarely bootless. While "Miles Of Style" functionally plus intentionally doesn't provide the most
    detailed biography of Eunice Johnson, founder of the Ebony Fashion Fair. Said book, written by
    Lisa D. Braithwaite, shows in brief how having boots is not irrelevant, unimportant, or
    inexcusable in the ability to strive in life, in the U.S.A. or anywhere else, at any time. The boots
    Eunice Johnson had, made by her parents plus community, led to Johnson creating, shepherding,
    or growing the Ebony Fashion Fair, the main subject of “Miles Of Style”, to a mandatory
    element of human history.
    Braithwaite's literature, accompanied by illustrations from Lynn Gaines, is truly chic; they
    provide a financially sparing while efficient biography of the Ebony Fashion Fair, centered on an
    incomplete while mandatory biography of a Black woman, born surrounded by elegance or
    contemporary fashion from inside a blockaded Black populace in the U.S.A. The boots she was
    born in supported her life path, a branch of which led to her showcasing the fashion she was born
    surrounded by to all outside her blockaded community, in the U.S.A. or beyond, in the style of a
    modern-day influencer.
    The book is full of positive, in color tone or composition, pastel illustrations of Black people in
    the USA mostly plus overwhelmingly, not totally, consistent in illustrative style or storytelling
    flow.
    The book delivers on all the promises in its summary concerning Eunice Johnson: rearing,
    education, marriage, Ebony Magazine, Ebony Fashion Fair. A rough approximation is half of the
    book concern Eunice Johnson before the Ebony Fashion Fair, and four fifths concern her life
    during and after the Ebony Fashion Fair.
    The Black populace in humanity, the tribes native to each continent plus immigrant communities
    through enslavement or free will, has many, not all or most, who adore stories about Black
    people who lived in no less glamour or peace than non-Blacks in times before the modern
    internet age. This book with its illustrations plus history delivers such a story.
    I am not six or eleven years old; I cannot say how a child will react while or after reading this
    book. But as an adult who has read to children, I think adult readers to children, in homes as well
    as the secondary educational institutions called schools, will have a chance to share Eunice
    Johnson's depicted story, and along the way may learn from the book while the book never stops
    trying to uplift the viewer or reader with positive, creative, energy.
    The book can inspire any child, any phenotype or age or location, to color more or design more
    or imagine more beyond any perceived or real limitations. Said creativity is the road to the
    destination of being truly chic. This book, if owned, will be part of the boots one needs to walk
    said road.
