Whether You Have A Ph.d., Or No

Never To Forget Where We Came From And Always Praise The Bridges That Carried Us Over.

We Have Been Listening Year After Year To [white People] And What Have We Got? We Are Not Even Allowed To Think For Ourselves. "i Know What Is Best For You," But They Don't Know What Is Best For Us! It Is Time Now To Let Them Know What They Owe Us, And They Owe Us A Great Deal.

Just Because People Are Fat, It Doesn't Mean They Are Well Fed. The Cheapest Foods Are The Fattening Ones, Not The Most Nourishing.

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.

When I Got On That Plane, It Was Loaded With White People Going To Africa For The Peace Corps. I Got There And Met A Lot Of Them, And Actually They Had More Peace There In Guinea Than I Have Here. I Talked To Some Of Them. I Told Them Before They Would Be Able To Clean Up Somebody Else's House You Would Have To Clean Up Yours; Before They Can Tell Somebody Else How To Run Their Country, Why Don't They Do Something Here.
