Assata Shakur Quotes

In Berkeley And San Francisco, The Revolution Didn't Seem To Far Away. A Lot Of White Radicals, Hippies, Chicanos, Blacks, And Asians Were Ready To Get Down. But I Hadn't Forgotten The Hard Hats And The Red Necks And The Bible Belt And The So Called Middle Amerikans Who Had Elected Nixon. I Couldn't Imagine How The "new Left" Was Talking To Those People, Much Less Organizing And Changing Their Minds. I Decided The Only Way I Would Come Up With Answers Was To On Keep Studying And Struggling. I Didn't Know How Half Of What I Was Studying Would Fit In But I Figured It Would All Come In Handy Some Day. I Read About Guerrilla Warfare And Clandestine Struggle Without Having The Faintest Idea That One Day I Would Go Underground. It's Kind Of Funny When I Think About It Because Reading That Stuff Had Probably Saved My Life A Million Times.
