People

"The first point was we wanted power to determine our own destiny in our own black community. And what we had done is, we wanted to write a program that was straightforward to the people. We didn't want to give a long dissertation."

"You don't fight racism with racism, the best way to fight racism is with solidarity."

"We were like heroes, to stand there and observe the police, and the police were scared to move upon us."
