Every Day Of My Life

The Exceptionalism Of A Black U.s. President Is Not Important To Me. It's What He Does - And Who He Has At The Table.

I'm Not So Vain As To Believe That My Involvement Changes Anything Whatsoever.

In The Black Power Mixtape , You Hear The Voice Of Angela Davis - Not Someone Playing Angela Davis.

What's More Important Is That We Talk About Movements; Change Happens Through Movements. The Movement To End Slavery, The Movement To Bring Justice For Those Who Have Been Left Out Of The System, Movements To Include Women, Movements Around Sexual Preference - All These Movements Brought About Change.

I Remember When Langston Hughes Used To Write A Column In Black Newspapers Around This Character Jesse B. Semple. He Always Used That As A Voice, Sometimes In Comic Ways, Of Having Everyday People's Voice Come Through This Common Folk Hero, Who Was An Ordinary Working Guy. He Would Talk About Anything From Police Brutality To The Korean War. Those Kinds Of Expression And Identification Are No Longer Prevalent In Our Popular Culture.
