Quotes From "Black Prophetic Fire" By Cornel West

1
There are hundreds of political prisoners right now in America’s jails who were so taken by Malcolm [X’s} spirit that they became warriors and the powers that be understood them as warriors.

But these warriors had callings, and they have paid an incalculable and immeasurable price in those cells. Cornel West
