Slavery"America is America because of Africa. They took us, They enslaved us... and when they had used our labor... they now came and colonized us." Patrick Lumumba regarding slavery.

Neither brutality, cruelty or torture will ever bring me to ask for mercy, for I prefer to die with my head held high, unshakable faith and the greatest confidence in the destiny of my country rather than live in slavery and contempt for sacred principles." Patrick Lumumba on slavery
