My fear was not of death itself, but a death without meaning.

Black Power is giving power to people who have not had power to determine their destiny.

I think generally speaking, both people are trying to be free from the abuses of the white racist North American authorities. I think that's the one common denominator. The Cubans found a way to liberate themselves and we haven't found the way yet. So that's the difference.

The racist dog policemen must withdraw immediately from our communities, cease their wanton murder and brutality and torture of black people, or face the wrath of the armed people.

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

There's no reason for the establishment to fear me. But it has every right to fear the people collectively - I am one with the people.

I do not think that life will change for the better without an assault on the Establishment, which goes on exploiting the wretched of the earth.
