The man does not beat your head because you got a Cadillac or because you got a Ford; he beats you because you're black!

You've got to stop dividing yourselves. You got to organize.

When you understand your obligations to God then you can understand your obligations to society.

Everybody in the black community must organize, and then we decide whether we will have alliance with other people or not, but not until we are organized.

Black people must address itself to the causes of poverty. That's oppression in this country.

The only politics in this country that's relevant to black people today is the politics of revolution... none other.
