Before a group can enter the open society, it must first close ranks.

I usually say I did the best I could with what I had. I have no major regrets.

An organization which claims to speak for the needs of a community must speak in the tone of that community.

Our noses are broad, our lips are thick, our hair is nappy-we are black and beautiful!

Our grandfathers had to run, run, run. My generation's out of breath. We ain't running no more.

Now, then, in order to understand white supremacy we must dismiss the fallacious notion that white people can give anybody their freedom.

The time for running has come to an end. You tell them white folk in Mississippi that all the scared niggers are dead!
