“Right on, right on, right on, right on, right on.
Like I don't usually come South. I think the furthest South I've
been is the South ferry (phonetic) in New York. But I see out
hers a whole lot of beautiful black young people. I even see some
white mother country radicals sprinkled here and there. I see
some . . . I see some brothers and sisters who are a little bit
older, but they haven'r fell for long-nose (phonetic) NIXON's
gereration gap. But they're here too.
"See, I think, I think that one of rhe first impressions
I got when I got off the plane was how brown and how dark the soil
was in North Carolina. And being born in Harlem, that is a
