I maintain that i have been a negro three times--a negro baby, a negro girl and a negro woman. still, if you have received no clear cut impression of what the negro in america is like, then you are in the same place with me. there is no the negro here. our lives are so diversified, internal attitudes so varied, appearances and capabilities so different, that there is no possible classification so catholic that it will cover us all, except my people! my people!

Negro writers, just by being black, have been on the blacklist all our lives. do you know that there are libraries in our country that will not stock a book by a negro writer, not even as a gift? there are towns where negro newspapers and magazines cannot be sold except surreptitiously. there are american magazines that have never published anything by negroes. there are film studios that have never hired a negro writer. censorship for us begins at the color line.

The strike and its outcome had an enormous impact on the system of education and on our lives as well. the strike began as a response to the college's refusal to hire professor nathan hare [the so-called father of black studies], and certainly unified the college around issues of justice. these issues were reflected in many communities: the asian american community, hispanic community, native american community.

Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards. higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow. at first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens. out of my heart a bird flew skywards. and it waxed larger as it flew. yet it left not my heart.

You don't win an olympic gold medal with a few weeks of intensive training. there's no such thing as an overnight opera sensation. great law firms or design companies don't spring up overnight... every great company, every great brand, and every great career has been built in exactly the same way: bit by bit, step by step, little by little.

Laughter springs from the lawless part of our nature, and is purifying only in so far as there is a natural and unschooled goodness in the human heart.
