History is not hatred.

I'm for truth, no matter who tells it.

The only possible way out for the white man is to give us Negroes some land of our own; let us get out, get away from his wicked reign and go for ourselves.

If the government can't get the black man justice, then it's time for the black man to get some justice for himself.

That's not a chip on my shoulder, that's your foot on my neck.

Those who stay here can help those who go back, and those who go back can help those who stay here in the same way that when Jews go to Israel, the Jews in America help those in Israel and the Jews in Israel help those in America.

I myself have never been concerned with whether we are considered known or unknown. It's no problem of ours.
