Marcus Garvey

Brad Pitt

For us Africans, literature must serve a purpose: to expose, embarrass, and fight corruption and authoritarianism. It is understandable why the African artist is utilitarian.
Ama Ata Aidoo

I am a black man inside and outside and you are white men on the outside, but inside, you are Africans like me.

Mangosuthu Buthelezi

We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost.
