Quotes

  • Programs do not come out of the minds of any one person or two people such as ourselves, but out of day-to-day work, out of interaction between organizers and the communities in which they work.
  • Black Power means that black people see themselves as part of a new force, sometimes called the “Third World”; that we see our struggle as closely related to liberation struggles around the world. We must hook up with these struggles.
  • The social effects of colonialism are to degrade and to dehumanize the subjected black man.
  • Racist assumptions of white superiority have been so deeply engrained into the fiber of the society that they infuse the entire functioning of the national subconscious. They are taken for granted and frequently not even recognized.
  • The time is long overdue for the black community to redefine itself, set forth new values and goals, and organize around them.
  • To black Africans, the word “Uhuru” means “freedom,” but they had to fight the white colonizers for the right to use the term.
