The world, in spite of oppression, is a beautiful place. - Assata Shakur

Manhattan Community College had not one course on Peurto Rican history. The Peurto Rican sisters and brothers who knew what was happening became our teachers... once you understand something about the history of a people, their heroes, their hardships, and their sacrifices, it's easier to struggle with them. To support their struggle. For a lot of peole in this country, people who live in other places have no faces. And this is the way the U.S. government wants it to be. They figure as long as the people have no faces and the country has no form, amerikans will not protest when they send in the marines to wipe them out.

I was getting tired of the streets. I was tired of being grown and i wanted to be a kid again.

All you have to do is ask yourselves, who controls the government? And who are the victims of that control?
