The NYPD was ubiquitous. They were always around Malcolm X. Whenever Malcolm spoke, there would be one or two dozen cops all over the place.

Hope is essential to any political struggle for radical change when the overall social climate promotes disillusionment and despair.

I am convinced that the Black man will only reach his full potential when he learns to draw upon the strengths and insights of the Black woman.

The liberal uses the radical's language to achieve the conservative's aim: the preservation of the capitalist system, and the traditional ethnic/racial hierarchy within society.

At the heart of the fractured soul of America is the frightening chasm of race.

Whiteness in a racist, corporate-controlled society is like having the image of an American Express Cardstamped on one's face: immediately you are “universally accepted.”

The crisis of black politics can only be resolved through the development of multiclass, multiracial, progressive political structures.

The Gospel purifies and renews, it bears fruit, wherever the community of believers hears it and receives God’s grace in truth and charity. This is my confidence, this is my joy.
