The Idea Of Freedom Is Inspiring. But

I Think In Black Communities Today We Need To Encourage A Lot More Cross Racial Organizing.

The Process Of Empowerment Cannot Be Simplistically Defined In Accordance With Our Own Particular Class Interests. We Must Learn To Lift As We Climb.

Well For One, The 13th Amendment To The Constitution Of The Us Which Abolished Slavery - Did Not Abolish Slavery For Those Convicted Of A Crime.

Racism, In The First Place, Is A Weapon Used By The Wealthy To Increase The Profits They Bring In By Paying Black Workers Less For Their Work.

I Think We Have To Really Focus On The Issues Much More Than We May Have In The Past. I Think We Have To Seek To Create Coalitional Strategies That Go Beyond Racial Lines. We Need To Bring Black Communities, Chicano Communities, Puerto Rican Communities, Asian American Communities Together.
