• I am somebody. <br/> I am a somebody.<br/> I am a child of God.<br/> I may not be educated but I am somebody.<br/> I may not have any money but I am somebody.<br/> I may not eat steak every day but I am somebody.<br/> I may not look the way you look but I am somebody.

There are those who argue that the right to privacy is of higher order than the right to life. I do not share that view... That was the premise of slavery.

• If my mind can conceive it, if my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it because I am somebody!<br/>Respect me! Protect me! Never neglect me!<br/> I am somebody!<br/> My mind is a pearl! I can learn anything in the world!<br/> Nobody can save us, from us, for us, but us!<br/> I can learn. It is possible.<br/> I ought to learn. It is moral.<br/> I must learn. It is imperative.

• There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.... After all we have been through. Just to think we can't walk down our own streets, how humiliating.
