Sayings From The Life and Writings of Junebug Jabbo Jones
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2 – You Can’t Judge A Book by Looking at the Cover by 
John O’Neal.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3 – Trying to Find My Way Back Home with William 
O’Neal.
Both shows at 8 pm, Northampton Center for the Arts

December 2 – You Can’t Judge A Book by Looking at the Cover by John 
O’Neal.
With lots of humor and in his own unique turn-of-phrase style, Junebug 
Jabbo Jones illuminates upon slices of African American life and black 
folks’ struggle for rights and respect. Wherever and whenever oppressed 
people have taken stock of their situations and begun to consider what 
to do about it, Junebug, or somebody like him, may be found nearby.

December 3 – Trying to Find My Way Back Home with William O’Neal.
Junebug Jabbo Jones the Elder (John O’Neal) passes the baton to a new 
generation (William O’Neal, his son) to carry on the Junebug tradition. 
In Trying To Find My Way Back Home, Junebug Jabbo Jones The Younger 
exposes the devastating impact of post-industrial urban life on inner 
city blacks, despite the powerful influence of the Civil Rights 
Movement. Using storytelling, rap, song and spoken word, this gifted 
young actor and hip-hop singer gives a youthful voice to the "Junebug 
aesthetic," and challenges contemporary audiences to recognize the 
importance of our past struggles to our present lives.
