New Afrikan Freedom Fighter Day, July 18, 1981Solidarity Statement from May 19th Communist Organization by Judy Clark

"We want our children to be part of building this new socialistsociety. That is why we built the Clifford Glover Brigade for ouryoung people to march with us today, under the leadership of theBlack Liberation struggle. We want them to understand that asystem that survives through the murder of Black children by killercops and the klan provides no future for them. But for them to livein a better world, they must start fighting for it by fightingwhite supremacy now. That is the way that they will learn new valuesand can grow into young revolutionary women and men."

All quotes by the Clifford Glover Brigade unless otherwise indicated.

"It was Assata Shakur's Birthday and she's afreedom fighter. She's fighting to free otherBlack people and she's underground."

Malcolm X

"One of the first things I think youngpeople, especially nowadays, should learnis how to see for yourself. Then you cancome to an intelligent decision for yourself.If you form the habit of going by what youhear others say about someone, or going bywhat others think about someone, Insteadof searching that thing out for yourself andseeing for yourself, you will be walkingwest when you think you're going east, andyou will be walking east when you thinkyou're going west."
