A man is not necessarily happy because he is rich, or unhappy because he is poor… Millions will always remain poor.

Quote: If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it is wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it is wrong for America to draft us, and make us violent abroad in defense of her.
