The Black family of the future will foster our liberation, enhance our self-esteem, and shape our ideas and goals.

We have to improve life, not just for those who have the most skills and those who know how to manipulate the system. But also for and with those who often have so much to give but never get the opportunity.

No one will do for you what you need to do for yourself. We cannot afford to be separate. We have to see that all of us are in the same boat.

If the time is not ripe, we have to ripen the time.

The black woman had had to struggle against being a person of great strength.

We are not a problem people, we are people with problems.

A Negro woman has the same kind of problems as other women, but she can't take the same things for granted.
