But Today This Country Can Become Involved In A Revolution That Won't Take Bloodshed. All She's Got To Do Is Give The Black Man In This Country Everything That's Due Him, Everything.

When You Go To A Church And You See The Pastor Of That Church With A Philosophy And A Program That's Designed To Bring Black People Together And Elevate Black People, Join That Church.

Join Any Kind Of Organization, Civic, Religious, Fraternal, Political, Or Otherwise That's Based On Lifting The Black Man Up And Making Him Master Of His Own Community.
