I saw in Chicago, on the street where I was visiting my sister-in-law, this "Urban Renewal" and it means one thing: "Negro removal." But they want to tear the homes down and put a parking lot there. Where are those people going? Where will they go? And as soon as Negroes take to the street demonstrating, one hears people say, "they shouldn't have done it." The world is looking at America and it is really beginning to show up for what it is really like. "Go Tell It on the Mountain." We can no longer ignore this, that America is not "the land of the free and the home of the brave."

A white man killed the mules and our cows that knocked us right back down. And things got so tough then I began to wish I was white.

We are here to work side-by-side with this "black" man in trying to bring liberation to all our people!

You can pray until you faint, but unless you get up and try to do something, God is not going to put it in your lap.

I see so many ways America uses to rob Negroes and it is sinful and America can't keep holding on, and doing these things.

I was in jail when Medgar Evers was murdered and nothing, I mean nothing has been done about that.

Nobody's free until everybody's free.
