"The only reason for being born into a world of injustice is for ones to produce justice."
- seshatasefekht Egungun, Egungun ni t'aiye ati jo! Ancestos, Ancestors come to earth and dance! "I'm sick of the war and the civilization that created it. Let's look to our dreams, and the magical; to the creations of the so-called primitive peoples for new inspirations." - Jaques Vache and Andre Breton "Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone." -John Maynard "You know that in our country there were even matriarchal societies where women were the most important element. On the Bijagos islands they had queens. They were not queens because they were the daughters of kings. They had queens succeeding queens. The religious leaders were women too..." -- Amilcar Cabral, Return to the Source, 1973    |

A Not so great quote to share:

"Many 'white' people 'hate' 'black' people. Those 'white' people who 'hate' 'black' people do not 'hate' 'black' people because 'black' people are 'black'. They 'hate' 'black' people because 'white' people are not 'black'."
Neely Fuller Jr. ~ 1964 "......Distinguishing TRUTH from falsehood" 'Change your words into truth And then change that truth into LOVE, And maybe our children's grandchildren , And their great-grandchildren will tell.' |

"Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop.
And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want to you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land! And so I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man! Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!" Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. April, 3, 1968 Memphis, Tennessee |

"[...] It's probably a good idea to have the man who is the head of the ticket - the guy running for president - to be a community organizer .... Because when you do a lot of community organizing ... you know how to do the one on one, the door to door, to get the vote out ... and so while they were laughing at that during the Republican convention and demeaning Senator Obama for being a community organizer ... they're now witnessing the fruits of that community organizing by having such a massive turn out in all these early polling places ..."
