It's A Really Unfair World Because Life

I Look At An Ant And I See Myself: A Native South African, Endowed By Nature With A Strength Much Greater Than My Size So I Might Cope With The Weight Of A Racism That Crushes My Spirit.

I Didn't Have Much, But I Was Always Happy To Share What I Did Have. It Seemed Like Every African That Came To New York City Would Show Up At My Apartment Door At Dinnertime, And I Couldn't Turn Them Away. I Wasn't Much Older Than Any Of Them, But They Started Calling Me 'mama Africa' And The Name Stuck.

Belafonte Sent His People To Pick Me Up And I Went Back And Shook His Hand, Then Went Back To My Little Flat. I Was Very Happy To Have Met A President Of The United States - Little Me!

The Conqueror Writes History, They Came, They Conquered And They Write. You Don't Expect The People Who Came To Invade Us To Tell The Truth About Us.

If Given A Choice, I Would Have Certainly Selected To Be What I Am: One Of The Oppressed Instead Of One Of The Oppressors.
