" Water."

"I refuse to live up to the standards of the man who took us away from our home. We shall progress on the path that our ancestors laid down for us centuries before. For they dwell in our blood. And so we shall never be apart from them. There was a system set in place to destroy us. But just as all powerful things come to be. Shall they come to end."

"I’m gonna fight for the prestige, not for me. But to uplift my little brothers who are sleeping on concrete floors today in America, black people who are living on welfare, black people who can’t eat, black people who don’t know no knowledge of themselves, black people who don’t have no future."

Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali on the Vietnam War Draft

The fact that this is STILL relevant should be very telling.

Immortal words…

“If I’m gonna die, I’ll die right here fighting you … You my enemy, not the Viet Cong or Chinese or Japanese … You my opposer when I want freedom, you my opposer when I want justice, you my opposer when I want equality … You want me to go somewhere and fight, but you won’t even stand up for me here at home.”
