The prison systems in this country actually are exploitative and they are not in any way rehabilitative.

Even as a Muslim minister in the Muslim movement, I have always said that I would work with any organization.

I believe it's a crime for anyone who is being brutalized to continue to accept that brutality without doing something to defend himself.

Wyatt Walker can walk through Harlem. No one would know him.

The goal of Martin Luther King is to get the Negroes to forgive the people the people who have brutalized them for four hundred years, by lulling them to sleep and making them forget what those whites have done to them, but the masses of black people today don't go for what Martin Luther King is putting down.

They asked if I knew what 'conscientious objector' meant. I told them that when the white man asked me to go off somewhere and fight and maybe die to preserve the way the white man treated the black man in America, then my conscience made me object.

I don't care how nice one is to you, the thing you must always remember is that almost never does he really see you as he sees himself, as he sees his own kind.
