We been in W: hington, D. C., the head of the octupus,
the bud-sucker, and we giv. Wahington, D. C., the head of the
monster, a toothache. We been in New York City in Harlem. We
went to black harlem and Spanish harlem. You knew in New York
City, uptown New York is Huv‘em, Put in Chicago, uptown Chicago
is Hillbilly Harlem, is white harlem. Because we say there's
two kinds of white people. There are honkeys and there are
hillbillies. And hitlbillic- are m-t the white people who own
Remington Arms ard Dokont, and they're not the Fennedys, the
Rockefellers, they'xe the «revessed perple. They're the people
down in thé valley, you ser.
We say a revoluticunry is a person who comes down off
the mountaintop int> the v»lley. A lot of times you might have
speakers here und you sk them what revoluticn means, and they
won't answer ycu because they’re net sure. But they got the words
but they haven't got the practi-e te go with it.
A revolutionary is man that comes frem the mountaintop
a cat who's got everythiny he needs in his grasp. He might be
black, he might be a white nigger, might be an Indian, might be a
middle-class, but he's go’ it in his grasp. Then he comes down
into the valley and why d<=s he come down there? He has to,
Because this piq university here, you know what it does? This
pig university will take a cs" f:0om a little town in North
Carolina, take a cat whese mother and father have worked all
their lives in the mill, a «xt who understands what oppression is
and who the oppressor is, and this university will turn him into
an Oppressor, This univ’: jty will send him back home to oppress
his mama and his daddy. That's a pig, that's a pig. :
A revolutionary is a cat. who sees what's happening and
he comes down into the valley t> be with the people. If he's
black he comes dev in the harlems all over the United States.
If he's red, he comes dow in the xeservations, If he's brown
