In My Country We Go To Prison

I And Some Colleagues Came To The Conclusion That As Violence In This Country Was Inevitable, It Would Be Wrong And Unrealistic For African Leaders To Continue Preaching Peace And Non-violence At A Time When The Government Met Our Peaceful Demands With Force. It Was Only When All Else Had Failed, When All Channels Of Peaceful Protest Had Been Barred To Us, That The Decision Was Made To Embark On Violent Forms Of Political Struggle.

Freedom Can Never Be Taken For Granted. Each Generation Must Safeguard It And Extend It. Your Parents And Elders Sacrificed Much So That You Should Have Freedom Without Suffering What They Did. Use This Precious Right To Ensure That The Darkness Of The Past Never Returns.

I Knew As Well As I Knew Anything That The Oppressor Must Be Liberated Just As Surely As The Oppressed.

Those Who Can't Imagine Change Reveal The Deficits Of Their Imaginations, Not The Difficulty Of Change.

I Appeal To The Youth And Those On The Ground: Start Talking To Each Other Across Divisions Of Race And Political Organizations.
