How lovely it is to live with a sense of community. To live where you can drop in the street and a million people will come and help you.

I was sentenced to life plus 30 years by an all-White jury. What I saw in prison was wall-to-wall Black flesh in chains. Women caged in cells. But we're the terrorists. It just doesn't make sense.

The US government's most acute fear is that other countries are going to follow the Cuban example. They want everybody to know that if you follow this example we will attack you in every way that we can.

Black revolutionaries do not drop from the moon. We are created by our conditions. Shaped by our oppression.

In my opinion while lynchings were quite possibly the most heinous crimes ever witnessed in American history, they helped in bringing people together for a sole purpose. It was because of these lynchings that armed self-resistance was created. If white people knew black people were capable of fighting back then there was less of a chance that violence actually would break out.

Racism had grown out of slavery and exploitation and was very hard to eradicate quickly and completely.
