"As black people, as brown people, as people of color, as working men and women in general, we know and we experience the agony of the struggle for existence each day. We are locked into that struggle. The parallels between our lives and the lives of our sisters and brothers behind bars are very clear. Yet there is a terrifying difference in degree between life on this side of the bars and life on the other side. And just as we must learn from the similarities and acquire an awareness of all the forces which oppress us out here, it is equally important that we understand that the plight of the prisoner unfolds in the rock-bottom realms of human existence." - Angela Davis
Political Activist, Professor, Author and former Black Panther Party Member.

Tighten the leash.
Freedom you speak
Poison the water
Make us the 'other'
Beat a dog.
You will be bitten.
Oppress a man
History’s written.
Your cage won't hold for long
The will of the wretched ,forever strong
Strike the rock, a landslide will come
On this day, Oppressor, run
“The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressed,
Is the mind of the oppressed”
Slip the leash
