Don't worry bout a ting!--Bob Marley

 The Black Dialogue Brothers who visited the  Black Culture Club at Soledad Prison, 1966, chaired by Eldridge Cleaver and Alprintis Bunchy Carter, who later become leaders in the Black Panther Party. Cleaver became Minister of Information and Alprintis Bunchy Carter became leader of the Los Angeles Chapter, but killed by the US organization agents for the FBI in the BSU meeting room on the campus of UCLA. Geronimo Pratt said forgive the sins of all those in the Black Liberation Movement. It is hard but I say to you I have forgiven those who killed my associates in the BLM; if the Arabs can forgive, we call also, after all, in revolution all things happens, again, all things happen, study the Cuban, Russian, Haitan, American, Chinese, and all other revolutions and see if everything was peaches and cream. Malcolm told you all revolutions are bloody, and I say so is the revolution of North American Africans. When you come to know revolution, you come to know changes and contradictions, nothing stays the same; enemies become friends and comrades, friends and comrades become enemies. All is in flux, motion, contradiction--there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. Stay focused on your interests and never back down. Liberty or death!

Brothers reading at Marvin X's Academy of da Corner, 14th and Broadway, downtown Oakland.

Ishmael Reed says, "Marvin X is Plato teaching on the streets of Oakland."
