Some pretty hard-hitting cartoons from Black American artists in the 1960s and early 70s.

Tom Floyd, from Integration is a Bitch!, 1969 ("...nearly every artist featured in this anthology owned a copy"):

Charles Johnson, from Black Humour, 1970:

And this one (also by Charles Johnson) that I love just because it's so joyful:

All of these are taken from a book called It's Life As I See It: Black Cartoonists in Chicago, 1940-1980 edited by Dan Nadel (highly recommended).
