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

The Black Panther Party were not revenge nationalists.

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

Money is the medium of exchange, and it's how you make things happen. To say you hate it is some farfetched, idealistic crap.

The first point was we wanted power to determine our own destiny in our own black community. And what we had done is, we wanted to write a program that was straightforward to the people. We didn't want to give a long dissertation.

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.
