Sex Was A Pleasurable Form Of Exercise,

Beautiful? It's All A Question Of Luck. I Was Born With Good Legs. As For The Rest... Beautiful, No. Amusing, Yes.

My People Have A Country Of Their Own To Go To If They Choose... Africa... But, This America Belongs To Them Just As Much As It Does To Any Of The White Race... In Some Ways Even More So, Because They Gave The Sweat Of Their Brow And Their Blood In Slavery So That Many Parts Of America Could Become Prosperous And Recognized In The World.

I Believe If The White And Colored People Could Get Together And Be Let Alone, They Would Understand Each Other And Consequently Love Each Other.

I Was Learning The Importance Of Names - Having Them, Making Them - But At The Same Time I Sensed The Dangers. Recognition Was Followed By Oblivion, A Yawning Maw Whose Victims Disappeared Without A Trace.

When I Was A Child And They Burned Me Out Of My Home, I Was Frightened And I Ran Away. Eventually I Ran Far Away. It Was To A Place Called France. Many Of You Have Been There, And Many Have Not. But I Must Tell You, Ladies And Gentlemen, In That Country I Never Feared. It Was Like A Fairyland Place.
