If I Am Truly Free,

You Know I'm Not Hung Up On This Liberating Myself From The "black" Man - I'm Not Going To Try That Thing.

You Know What Really Made Me Sick? I Was In Washington, D.c. At Another Time Reading In A Paper Where The U.s. Gives Byron De La Beckwith - The Man Who Is Charged With Murdering Medgar Evers - They Were Giving Him So Much Money For Some Land And I Ask "is This America?" We Can No Longer Ignore The Fact That America Is Not The "land Of The Free And The Home Of The Brave."

Our Foreparents Were Mostly Brought From West Africa. We Were Brought To America And Our Foreparents Were Sold; White People Bo Ught Them; White People Changed Their Names My Maiden Name Is Supposed To Be Townsend, But Really, What Is My Maiden Name? What Is My Name?

Some Things I Found Out In The National Convention I Wasn't Too Glad I Did Find Out. But We Will Work Hard, And It Was Important To Actually Really Bring This Out To The Open, The Things I Will Say Some People Knew About And Some People Didn't; This Stuff That Has Been Kept Under The Cover For So Many Years. Actually, The World And America Is Upset And The Only Way To Bring About A Change Is To Upset It More.

This White Man Who Is Saying "it Takes Time." For Three Hundred And More Years They Have Had "time," And Now It Is Time For Them To Listen.
