I've Always Been Supportive Of The Right

I Realized That Most White Americans Knew Very Little About Our History And Our Struggle, And Were Having Difficulty Understanding The Basis For Our Agitation And Our Resistance And Our Complaints. I Also Discovered That While Black Americans Had A Sense Of The Beauty And Tragedy Of The Journey From The Time Of Slavery Until Now, We Were Not Rooted In The Specifics. I Thought One Way To Familiarize People With That History Would Be Through The Voices Of The Great Folk Artists.

Many Who Have Nothing Opposed To The Few Who Have Everything, And As Long As These Disparities Remain, As Long As These Distances Remain Between People And Forces, I Think We'll Be In A Perpetual State Of Upheaval.

I Am A Man Who Perceives Life In A Certain Way, A Man Who Rejects Things That Defecate On Humankind, Who Rejects Anything That Will Not Give People Room For Dissent.

Not Since The Early Days Of The Civil Rights Movement Has America Been Given An Opportunity As Great As The Opportunity We Have Now. It's One Thing For Us To Avenge Our Pain, Our Anger, And Our Rage By Targeting Bin Laden And A Handful Of Men Who Have Wrought This Villainy. But One Should Be Wise Enough To Ask, What Fueled All This? What Continues To Sustain The Possibility That This Will Not Go Away? I Think The Answer Is Poverty.

I'm Very Familiar With Poverty. I Find It Easy To Be With, Whether I'm In America Or In Africa Or In Asia. Wherever I Go And Find The Environment Of Those Who Are Living In Poverty And Resisting Poverty Is A Great In Which I Have Great Comfort.
