I Think The Way I Want To

I'd Seen My Father. He Was A Poor Man, And I Watched Him Do Astonishing Things.

I Was The Only Black Person On The Set. It Was Unusual For Me To Be In A Circumstance In Which Every Move I Made Was Tantamount To Representation Of 18 Million People.

I Decided In My Life That I Would Do Nothing That Did Not Reflect Positively On My Father's Life.

Okay Listen, You Think I'm So Inconsequential? Then Try This On For Size. All Those Who See Unworthiness When They Look At Me And Are Given Thereby To Denying Me Value - To You I Say, I'm Not Talking About Being As Good As You. I Hereby Declare Myself Better Than You.

My Autobiography Was Simply The Story Of My Life.
