I Went Almost Naked To See That

Nobody's Free Until Everybody's Free.

You Know The Scripture Says "be Not Deceived For God Is Not Mocked; Whatsoever A Man Sow That Shall He Also Reap." And One Day, I Don't Know How They're Going To Get It, But They're Going To Get Some Of It Back. They Are Scared To Death And Are More Afraid Now Than We Are.

If The White Man Gives You Anything - Just Remember When He Gets Ready He Will Take It Right Back. We Have To Take For Ourselves.

I Remember, And I Will Never Forget, One Day - I Was Six Years Old And I Was Playing Beside The Road And This Plantation Owner Drove Up To Me And Stopped And Asked Me "could I Pick Some Cotton." I Told Him I Didn't Know And He Said, "yes, You Can. I Will Give You Things That You Want From The Commissary Store," And He Named A Huge List That He Called Off. I Picked The 30 Pounds Of Cotton That Week, But I Found Out What Actually Happened Was He Was Trapping Me Into Beginning The Work I Was To Keep Doing And I Never Did Get Out Of His Debt Again.

When I Got On That Plane, It Was Loaded With White People Going To Africa For The Peace Corps. I Got There And Met A Lot Of Them, And Actually They Had More Peace There In Guinea Than I Have Here. I Talked To Some Of Them. I Told Them Before They Would Be Able To Clean Up Somebody Else's House You Would Have To Clean Up Yours; Before They Can Tell Somebody Else How To Run Their Country, Why Don't They Do Something Here.
