— Isaac Bashevis Singer"The truth is that what the great religions preached, the Yiddish-speaking people of the ghettos practiced day in and day out.

Black Revolutionaries do not drop from the moon. We are created by our conditions. We are shaped by our oppression. We are being manufactured in droves in the ghetto streets, places like attica, san quetin, bedford hills, leavenworth, and sing sing. They are turning out thousands of us.
