Slavery Has Never Been Abolished From America's

When I Was Studying... There Weren't Any Black Concert Pianists. My Choices Were Intuitive, And I Had The Technique To Do It. People Have Heard My Music And Heard The Classic In It, So I Have Become Known As A Black Classical Pianist.

It's Time To Take A Look At My Failures And Stop Calling Them Successes. Now I Can Start Working At Something That Can Use Me Best.

If I Want To Take A Particular Form Of Blues Somewhere Else I Have The Equipment To Do It But I Never Even Thought Of It.

It's A Good Time For Black People To Be Alive.

This May Be A Dream, But I'll Say It Anyway: I Was Supposed To Be Married Last Year, And I Bought A Gown. When I Meet Nelson Mandela, I Shall Put On This Gown And Have The Train Of It Removed And Put Aside, And Kiss The Ground That He Walks On And Then Kiss His Feet.
