We talking about revolution because that's the era that you're caught in.

See, it's no in between: you're either free or you're a slave.

There has to be a social commitment, a social consciousness that joins men together. On the basis of their coming together, they do not transgress against themselves and they do not transgress against others.

There's no such thing as second class citizenship. That's like telling me you can be a little bit pregnant.

In terms of the revolution, I believe that the revolution will be a revolution of dispossessed people in this country: that's the Mexican American, the Puerto Rican American, the American Indian, and black people.

Everybody in the black community must organize, and then we decide whether we will have alliance with other people or not, but not until we are organized.

Individuals do not create rebellions; conditions do.
