We Didnt Come All This Way For

Black People Know What White People Mean When They Say “law And Order”.

Not Only Have We Paid The Price With Our Names In Ink, But We Have Also Paid In Blood. And They Can't Say That Black People Can't Be Intelligent, Because Going Back To Africa, In Guinea, There Are Almost 4 Million People There And What He, President [sekou] Toure, Is Doing To Educate The People: As Long As The French People Had It They Weren't Doing A Thing That Is Being Done Now.

My Mother Was A Great Woman. To Look At Her From The Suffering She Had Gone Through To Bring Us Up - 20 Children: 6 Girls And 14 Boys, But Still She Taught Us To Be Decent And To Respect Ourselves, And That Is One Of The Things That Has Kept Me Going, Even After She Passed.

We Have To Build Our Own Power. We Have To Win Every Single Political Office We Can, Where We Have A Majority Of Black People... The Question For Black People Is Not, When Is The White Man Going To Give Us Our Rights, Or When Is He Going To Give Us Good Education For Our Children, Or When Is He Going To Give Us Jobs-if The White Man Gives You Anything-just Remember When He Gets Ready He Will Take It Right Back.

I Remember, And I Will Never Forget, One Day - I Was Six Years Old And I Was Playing Beside The Road And This Plantation Owner Drove Up To Me And Stopped And Asked Me "could I Pick Some Cotton." I Told Him I Didn't Know And He Said, "yes, You Can. I Will Give You Things That You Want From The Commissary Store," And He Named A Huge List That He Called Off. I Picked The 30 Pounds Of Cotton That Week, But I Found Out What Actually Happened Was He Was Trapping Me Into Beginning The Work I Was To Keep Doing And I Never Did Get Out Of His Debt Again.
