We were not talking about the average white person: we was talking about the corporate money rich and the racist jive politicians and the lackeys, as we used to call them, for the government who perpetuate all this exploitation and racism.

I'm still a political revolutionary. The fire never went out of me, but perceptions and realizations change.

I am not a hoodlum. I'm a community organizer.

A people who have suffered so much for so long at the hands of a racist society must draw the line somewhere.

I have quite a few good friends in Philadelphia who were police officers.

There is an entire generation of young people who know nothing about how viciously the FBI attacked The Black Panther Party, and why.

We were like heroes, to stand there and observe the police, and the police were scared to move upon us.
