I was treated much better in Africa than I was treated in America. And you see, often I get letters like this: "Go back to Africa."

You know what really made me sick? I was in Washington, D.C. at another time reading in a paper where the U.S. gives Byron de la Beckwith - the man who is charged with murdering Medgar Evers - they were giving him so much money for some land and I ask "Is this America?" We can no longer ignore the fact that America is NOT the "land of the free and the home of the brave."

This white man who is saying "it takes time." For three hundred and more years they have had "time," and now it is time for them to listen.

A black woman's body was never hers alone.

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 used to question this for years - what did our kids actually fight for? They would go in the service and go through all of that and come right out to be drowned in a river in Mississippi. I found this hypocrisy is all over America.

If the white man gives you anything - just remember when he gets ready he will take it right back. We have to take for ourselves.
