Thus i began my systematic though half-bewildered tour of innsmouth's narrow, shadow-blighted ways. crossing the bridge and turning toward the roar of the lower falls, i passed close to the marsh refinery, which seemed to be oddly free from the noise of industry. the building stood on the steep river bluff near a bridge and an open confluence of streets which i took to be the earliest civic center, displaced after the revolution by the present town square.

The white man knows what a revolution is. he knows that the black revolution is worldwide in scope and in nature. the black revolution is sweeping asia, is sweeping africa, is rearing its head in latin america. the cuban revolution - that's a revolution. they overturned the system. revolution is in asia, revolution is in africa, and the white man is screaming because he sees revolution in latin america. how do you think he'll react to you when you learn what a real revolution is?

A revolution is bloody, but america is in a unique position. she's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. the russian revolution was bloody, chinese revolution was bloody, french revolution was bloody, cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the american revolution. but today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. all she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.

I will never forget that the only reason i'm standing here today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when it was risky. stood up when it was hard. stood up when it wasn't popular. and because that somebody stood up, a few more stood up. and then a few thousand stood up. and then a few million stood up. and standing up, with courage and clear purpose, they somehow managed to change the world.

A revolution is bloody. revolution is hostile. revolution knows no compromise. revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way. and you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, saying, “i’m going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me.” no, you need a revolution. whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, as reverend cleage was pointing out beautifully, singing “we shall overcome”? just tell me. you don’t do that in a revolution. you don’t do any singing; you’re too busy swinging.
