Im A Child Of The Civil Rights

But Rarely Have I Made Choices That Made Me Feel I Was Really Compromising What I Believe.

I Have The Capacity To Express What I Feel Needs To Be Expressed. And I Try To Do What I Believe In.

The Civil Rights Movement Didn't Deal With The Issue Of Political Disenfranchisement In The Northern Cities. It Didn't Deal With The Issues That Were Happening In Places Like Detroit, Where There Was A Deep Process Of Deindustrialization Going On. So You Have This Response Of Angry Young People, With A War Going On In Vietnam, A Poverty Program That Was Insufficient, And Police Brutality. All These Things Gave Rise To The Black Power Movement. The Black Power Movement Was Not A Separation From The Civil Rights Movement, But A Continuation Of This Whole Process Of Democratization.

The Death Penalty Is Inhumane... Whether That Person Is In A [jail] Or It's Bin Laden.

The World Is Dealing With Issues Of Immigration, Deindustrialization, And Poverty.
