¨Black Power is giving power to people who have not had power to determine their destiny.¨

¨I have the people behind me and the people are my strength.¨

¨I think what motivates people is not great hate, but great love for other people.¨

¨You don't fight racism with racism, the best way to fight racism is with solidarity.¨

¨ There's nothing wrong with being a cop. There's nothing wrong with being a white person. It's about where your heart is... We've got to get everyone beyond the xenophobic isolationism.¨

¨There is an entire generation of young people who know nothing about how viciously the FBI attacked The Black Panther Party, and why.¨

¨I like to think that I didn’t choose the Black Panther Party, the Black Panther Party chose me.¨

¨ The police patrolled, not to protect our property—we didn’t have any. It was to control and dominate us.¨

¨We saw someone killed by the police almost on a weekly basis. We saw that the power they had over us grew out of the barrels of those guns, and we surmised that one way to deal with that was to arm ourselves.¨
