Favorite Quote:
"We view each other with a great love and great understanding and that we try to expand this to the general black population and also people, oppressed people all over the world and, I think that we differ from some other groups simply because we understand the system better than most groups understand the system, and with this realization we attempt to form a strong political base based in the community with the only strength that we have and that's the strength of a potentially destructive force if we don't get freedom." -Huey P. Newton
