"My hunger for the freedom of my own people became a hunger for the
freedom of all people, white and black. I knew as well as I knew
anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the
oppressed. A [person] who takes away another [person's] freedom is a
prisoner of hatred ... is locked behind bars of prejudice and
narrow-mindedness. I am not truly free if I am taking away someone
else's freedom, just as surely as I am not free when my freedom is taken
from me. The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their
humanity."
