Omali Yeshitela“They see in the Socialist Party of African Peoples a vanguard of the struggle for the liberation of our people. They see it not only because of what we do here in the United States, but because we have the nerve to do [las cosas] like Marcus Garvey, like Malcolm X, and take on the fight of black people across the world”.
