And I Think That When Eldridge Cleaver Wrote It Down It Was Interpreted As His, But There's A History Of People Saying Things Of That Nature And Meaning It. And What I Do Is In That Tradition, In That Mode.

I Don't Suspect That In Many Instances The Artists Who Are Dedicated In That Fashion To The Progress Of That Community Are As Well Protected By The Community As Might Be Necessary.
