I Think In Black Communities

I'm Suggesting That We Abolish The Social Function Of Prisons.

Poor People, People Of Color - Especially Are Much More Likely To Be Found In Prison Than In Institutions Of Higher Education.

You Can't Criticize People For Wanting To Have A Decent Life Or Wanting To Live Decently.

Media Mystifications Should Not Obfuscate A Simple, Perceivable Fact; Black Teenage Girls Do Not Create Poverty By Having Babies. Quite The Contrary, They Have Babies At Such A Young Age Precisely Because They Are Poor--because They Do Not Have The Opportunity To Acquire An Education, Because Meaningful, Well-paying Jobs And Creative Forms Of Recreation Are Not Accessible To Them ... Because Safe, Effective Forms Of Contraception Are Not Available To Them.

Now, If We Look At The Way In Which The Labor Movement Itself Has Evolved Over The Last Couple Of Decades, We See Increasing Numbers Of Black People Who Are In The Leadership Of The Labor Movement And This Is True Today.
