In 1994, south-side author, activist, and graffiti artist William “Upski” Wimsatt wrote Bomb the Suburbs—an examination of hip-hop culture from a white kid’s perspective. With that book and his 1999 follow-up, No More Prisons, Upski attracted a following that included Chuck D of Public Enemy and Tupac Shakur. Now 37, he has just released a new book titled Please Don’t Bomb the Suburbs: A Midterm Report on My Generation and the Future of Our Super Movement, a half-memoir, half-rallying cry to today’s youth to get involved in shaping America’s political future.
