I can't do nothin except try to find cloud nine.

My energy just couldn’t stop dancing. I was caught up in the music of struggle, and i wanted to dance.

I think that, like many sisters, I was raised to be a Superwoman. I am a serious woman, and I want to be taken seriously.

There is something about Sundiata [Acoli] that exudes calm. From every part of his being you can sense the presence of revolutionary spirit and fervor. And his love for Black people is so intense that you can almost touch it and hold it in your hand.

A revolutionary woman can't have no reactionary man.

Black Revolutionaries do not drop from the moon. We are created by our conditions. We are shaped by our oppression. We are being manufactured in droves in the ghetto streets, places like attica, san quetin, bedford hills, leavenworth, and sing sing. They are turning out thousands of us.

I think that any time anybody gets rid of oppression, intervention, exploitation, cruelty - that's positive.
