If The White Man Gives You Anything

Actually, Some Of The Things I Experienced As A Child Still Linger On; What The White Man Has Done To The Black People In The South!

My Mother Was A Great Woman. To Look At Her From The Suffering She Had Gone Through To Bring Us Up - 20 Children: 6 Girls And 14 Boys, But Still She Taught Us To Be Decent And To Respect Ourselves, And That Is One Of The Things That Has Kept Me Going, Even After She Passed.

... Some Of My People Could Have Been Left [in Africa] And Are Living There. And I Can't Understand Them And They Don't Know Me And I Don't Know Them Because All We Had Was Taken Away From Us. And I Became Kind Of Angry; I Felt The Anger Of Why This Had To Happen To Us. We Were So Stripped And Robbed Of Our Background, We Wind Up With Nothing.

People Have Got To Get Together And Work Together. I'm Tired Of The Kind Of Oppression That White People Have Inflicted On Us And Are Still Trying To Inflict.

To Support Whatever Is Right, And To Bring In Justice Where Weve Had So Much Injustice.
