In all fields black consciousness seeks to talk to the black man in a language that is his own

Apartheid - both petty and grand - is obviously evil. Nothing can justify the arrogant assumption that a clique of foreigners has the right to decide on the lives of a majority.

The most potent weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.

You are either alive and proud or you are dead, and when you are dead, you can't care anyway.

I would like to remind the black ministry and indeed all black people that God is not in the habit of coming down from heaven to solve people's problems on earth.

Black Consciousness is in essence the realization by the black man of the need to rally together with his brothers around the cause of their oppression.

The power of a movement lies in the fact that it can indeed change the habits of people. This change is not the result of force but of dedication, of moral persuasion.
