Ive been put in charge of Black History Month events at a public school. On of the things we are doing is a person+ quote announced in the mornings about historic Black people.

I want to create a list entirely of influential Black leftists and some quotes.

It still needs to be approved by the "moderate" priciple, so try and keep the people and quotes subtle enough that they can be mentioned in a school (yeah Ik, Im still gonna try and get Malcolm X in but i think that might get removed. )

Comrades! please list your favorite badass Black leftists and cool quotes by them , would actually help me get some leftist stuff (even just a tiny bit) into this school.

    Frantz Fanon

    He who is reluctant to recognize me opposes me.

    Imperialism leaves behind germs of rot which we must clinically detect and remove from our land but from our minds as well.

    A government or a party gets the people it deserves and sooner or later a people gets the government it deserves.

    W. E. B. Du Bois

    Either America will destroy ignorance or ignorance will destroy the United States.

    There is in this world no such force as the force of a person determined to rise. The human soul cannot be permanently chained.

    We must complain. Yes, plain, blunt complaint, ceaseless agitation, unfailing exposure of dishonesty and wrong - this is the ancient, unerring way to liberty and we must follow it.
