Mel Roberts doesn't usually make my ten by ten sets, but I couldn't leave out this shot of Butch Wallace. An added bit of interest is the fact that the stage name was chose for political reasons when segregationist George Wallace was running for president. Or so I have read online.
Like Mizer and others, Roberts knew how to make social commentary in their time….:)

Young black men the forbidden fruit of white men during apartheid. Very important to speak out against injustice for it harms everyone, it is a noble virtue.
