I do not expect the white media to create positive black male images.

The policemen or soldiers are only a gun in the establishments hand. They make the racist secure in his racism.

The Cuban Revolutionary Government has been generous and very considerate to me and my family. I lived in Santa Clara for a few months because I wanted to work in the countryside and get to know the country better.

The walls, the bars, the guns and the guards can never encircle or hold down the idea of the people.

Just before I left [Cuba], I was about to transfer to the university. I had decided I had had enough experience in work in the manual areas. But then I got word from the United States that I could return...that my party had gathered enough information about the false charges that were against me for me to return to the United States.

We have two evils to fight, capitalism and racism. We must destroy both racism and capitalism.

I always said this and the people think it's a cute answer, but I say we have always been in the system and that's why we fight because we don't like the system. We are trying to transform it.
