lyrics

[Lorraine Hansberry]

I’m very pleased that those peoples in the world whom I feel closest to – the colonial peoples, the African peoples, the Asian peoples – are in an insurgent mood; and are in the process of transforming the world and I think for the better.

I can’t quite understand pessimism at this moment; unless of course one is wedded to things that are dying out – which should die out – like colonialism, like racism and so forth.

For me this is one of the most affirmative periods in history.

[Interviewer]

Would you care to go on about that?

[Lorraine Hansberry]

Yes… I think its absolutely necessary that people who are just coming into their own in the world must be as dramatic about it as they possibly can; must embrace all causes, must embrace all methods. We’re talking about oppressed peoples who are that saying that they must assert themselves in the world.

We have a great deal to be angry about.

Its hard to know what you should fight for or against but there are things to do. We must make some decisions in this country.
