I believe in life. And I have seen the death parade

The people who are running this planet are insane - they are literally destroying it. I don't know where they think they're gonna drink water, breathe air.

Only the strong go crazy. The weak just go along.

Every person that steps up and commits to social change helps solidify the black movement cause. It is not easy for those who fill in the leader role.

I am a 20th century escaped slave. Because of government persecution, I was left with no other choice than to flee from the political repression, racism and violence that dominate the U.S. government’s policy towards people of color.

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

My life wasn't beautiful and creative before I became politically active. My life was totally changed when I began to struggle.
