It's A Good Time For Black People

I'm Just Human, I Have Faults Like Anyone

Jazz Is A White Term To Define Black People. My Music Is Black Classical Music.

We Have Ordered Things So Long In A Certain Way, We Are Numb. Nobody Dares Question It. This Is What Is Wrong, Symbolically, With America.

I Think The Rich Are Too Rich And The Poor Are Too Poor. I Don't Think The Black People Are Going To Rise At All; I Think Most Of Them Are Going To Die.

I Was Not Reluctant To Become A Singer. Singing Has Been An Activity I've Done My Whole Life, Without Thought.
