... And In Thinking Of My Life,

What, To The American Slave, Is Your Fourth Of July? I Answer: A Day That Reveals To Him, More Than All Other Days Of The Year, The Gross Injustices And Cruelty To Which He Is The Constant Victim. To Him Your Celebration Is A Sham.

You Degrade Us And Then Ask Why We Are Degraded. You Shut Our Mouths And Ask Why We Don't Speak. You Close Your Colleges And Seminaries Against Us And Then Ask Why We Don't Know.

If There Is No Struggle, There Is No Progress.

I Glory In The Conflict, That I May Hereafter Exult In The Victory. I Know That Victory Is Certain.

I Love The Religion Of Christianity - Which Cometh From Above - Which Is A Pure, Peaceable, Gentle, Easy To Be Entreated, Full Of Good Fruits, And Without Hypocrisy.
