    “We don’t think you fight fire with fire best ; we think you fight fire with water best. We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism. We’re stood up and said we’re not going to fight reactionary pigs and reactionary state’s attorneys like this and reactionary state’s attorneys like Hanrahan with any other reactions on our part. We’re going to fight their reactions with all of us people getting together and having an international proletarian revolution.”
    Fred Hampton

    “If you don't understand white supremacy/racism ,everything that you do understand will only confuse you..”
    Neely Fuller, Jr., The United Independent Compensatory Code System Concept a textbook/workbook for Thought, Speech and/or Action for Victims of Racism

  • #3
    Frantz Fanon
    “I am black; I am in total fusion with the world, in sympathetic affinity with the earth, losing my id in the heart of the cosmos -- and the white man, however intelligent he may be, is incapable of understanding Louis Armstrong or songs from the Congo. I am black, not because of a curse, but because my skin has been able to capture all the cosmic effluvia. I am truly a drop of sun under the earth.”
    Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks

    Idowu Koyenikan
    “Most people write me off when they see me.
    They do not know my story.
    They say I am just an African.
    They judge me before they get to know me.
    What they do not know is
    The pride I have in the blood that runs through my veins;
    The pride I have in my rich culture and the history of my people;
    The pride I have in my strong family ties and the deep connection to my community;
    The pride I have in the African music, African art, and African dance;
    The pride I have in my name and the meaning behind it.
    Just as my name has meaning, I too will live my life with meaning.
    So you think I am nothing?
    Don’t worry about what I am now,
    For what I will be, I am gradually becoming.
    I will raise my head high wherever I go
    Because of my African pride,
    And nobody will take that away from me.”
    idowu koyenikan, Wealth for all Africans: How Every African Can Live the Life of Their Dreams

    If you don't like someone's story, write your own.
    “If you don't like someone's story, write your own.”
    Chinua Achebe

  • #6
    Frantz Fanon
    “When we revolt it’s not for a particular culture. We revolt simply because, for many reasons, we can no longer breathe”
    Frantz Fanon

  • #7
    Idowu Koyenikan
    “We do not get to choose how we start out in life. We do not get to choose the day we are born or the family we are born into, what we are named at birth, what country we are born in, and we do not get to choose our ancestry. All these things are predetermined by a higher power. By the time you are old enough to start making decisions for yourself, a lot of things in your life are already in place. It’s important, therefore, that you focus on the future, the only thing that you can change.”
    Idowu Koyenikan, Wealth for All: Living a Life of Success at the Edge of Your Ability

  • #8
    Ralph Waldo Emerson
    “The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson

  • #9
    Idowu Koyenikan
    “Whenever I am in a difficult situation where there seems to be no way out, I think about all the times I have been in such situations and say to myself, "I did it before, so I can do it again.”
    Idowu Koyenikan, Wealth for All: Living a Life of Success at the Edge of Your Ability

  • #10
    Frantz Fanon
    “Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are
    presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new
    evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is
    extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it
    is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize,
    ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.”
    Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks

  • #11
    Frantz Fanon
    “Each generation must discover its mission, fulfill it or betray it, in relative opacity.”
    Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth

  • #12
    Allan Rufus
    “Unless we take that first step into the unknown, we will never know our own potential!”
    Allan Rufus, The Master's Sacred Knowledge

  • #13
    Frantz Fanon
    “The oppressed will always believe the worst about themselves.”
    Frantz Fanon

  • #14
    Frantz Fanon
    “...There are too many idiots in this world. And having said it, I have the burden of proving it.”
    Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks

  • #15
    Frantz Fanon
    “In the World through which I travel, I am endlessly creating myself.”
    Frantz Fanon

  • #16
    Frantz Fanon
    “O my body, make of me always a man who questions!”
    Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks

  • #17
    Frantz Fanon
    “For a colonized people the most essential value, because the most concrete, is first and foremost the land: the land which will bring them bread and, above all, dignity.”
    Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth

  • #18
    Frantz Fanon
    “Everything can be explained to the people, on the single condition that you want them to understand.”
    Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth

  • #19
    “Contemporary medical technology is not an advancement in medicine- it indicates the failure of Caucasian medical science and is a sign of ignorance. Technology cannot replace the human ability to diagnose disease by looking, touching and smelling to perform treatments without drugs.”
    Llaila Afrika, African Holistic Health: Your True Source of Holistic Health

  • #20
    Frantz Fanon
    “The basic confrontation which seemed to be colonialism versus anti-colonialism, indeed capitalism versus socialism, is already losing its importance. What matters today, the issue which blocks the horizon, is the need for a redistribution of wealth. Humanity will have to address this question, no matter how devastating the consequences may be.”
    Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth

  • #21
    Frantz Fanon
    “Imperialism leaves behind germs of rot which we must clinically detect and remove from our land but from our minds as well.”
    Frantz Fanon

  • #22
    Allan Rufus
    “The most incredible architecture
    Is the architecture of Self,
    which is ever changing, evolving, revolving and has unlimited beauty and light inside which radiates outwards for everyone to see and feel.

    With every in breathe
    you are adding to your life
    and every out breathe you are releasing what is not contributing to your life.
    Every breathe is a re-birth.”
    Allan Rufus, The Master's Sacred Knowledge

  • #23
    Allan Rufus
    “Hard work does not go unnoticed,
    and someday the rewards will follow”
    Allan Rufus, The Master's Sacred Knowledge

  • #24
    James Baldwin
    “To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a state of rage almost, almost all of the time — and in one's work. And part of the rage is this: It isn't only what is happening to you. But it's what's happening all around you and all of the time in the face of the most extraordinary and criminal indifference, indifference of most white people in this country, and their ignorance. Now, since this is so, it's a great temptation to simplify the issues under the illusion that if you simplify them enough, people will recognize them. I think this illusion is very dangerous because, in fact, it isn't the way it works. A complex thing can't be made simple. You simply have to try to deal with it in all its complexity and hope to get that complexity across.”
    James Baldwin

  • #25
    “...you can jail revolutionaries, but you can’t jail the revolution.

    You might run a liberator like Eldridge Cleaver out of the country, but you can’t run liberation out of the country.

    You might murder a freedom fighter like Bobby Hutton, but you can’t murder freedom fighting.

    And if you do, you’ll come up with answers that don’t answer,
    explanations that don’t explain,
    you’ll come up with conclusions that don’t conclude

    And you’ll come up with people that you thought should be acting like pigs that’s acting like people and instead moving on pigs.”
    Fred Hampton

  • #27
    “If you dare to struggle, you dare to win. If you dare not struggle, then damn it, you don't deserve to win.”
    Fred Hampton

  • #27
    “Nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism is gonna stop us all.”
    Fred Hampton

  • #28
    “You can jail a Revolutionary, but you can't jail the Revolution.”
    Fred Hampton

  • #29
    “If you walk through life and don't help anybody, you haven't had much of a life”
    Fred Hampton

  • #30
    “We've got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. We say you don't fight racism with racism. We're gonna fight racism with solidarity.”
    Fred Hampton, I Am A Revolutionary: Fred Hampton Speaks
