that Africa had no history, and neither did I.

in which he threatens America. He didn't in writing that book speak with the British accents that he used exclusively tonight

in which he threatened America with necessity for us to a jettison, for us to jettison our entire civilization, the only thing that the white man has

that the Negro should want, he said, is power.
