I reached the age of 70, because i have cultivated an association of multicultural intellectuals who are informed and alert to whatever "tricknology" that's laid on us by the powers that be. these include white ethnic intellectuals- people who know their roots- as well as native american, asian american, hispanic and black intellectuals. these are thirty, forty-year associations with some of the best minds around. minds that are ignored by the media.

Because of the civil rights movement, new doors of opportunity and education swung open for everybody ... not just for blacks and whites, but also women and latinos; and asians and native americans; and gay americans and americans with a disability. they swung open for you, and they swung open for me. and that's why i'm standing here today-because of those efforts, because of that legacy.
