"INSIDE-OUT" REVOLUTIONARIES
"INSIDE-OUT" REVOLUTIONARIES
From the inside out, rather than from the outside in, our American freedom is to be won, finally, based upon our laden souls' innate civilizing effects upon Western society, by using its creeds, books, heritage , history.
"Inside out" means individually and collectively for all, not just a few!
The "souls of black folks" enabled these disparate folks to withstand brutal oppression in a distant land, to which they were shipped over the seas, without family, language, history, customs, food, faith, love, opportunities, and to still survive .
That same spirit must be called upon to invest us and to magnetize those about us with the redeeming spirit of love, wisdom, knowledge, fun, laughter, rhythm, robustness that brought us through this hell .
