I am the captain of my soul.

I should tie myself to no particular system of society other than of socialism.

Africans require, want, the franchise on the basis of one man one vote. They want political independence.

Teach the children that Africans are not one iota inferior to Europeans.

I knew as well as I knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the oppressed.
