"One of the major troubles that I was having in building the organization that I wanted--an all-black organization whose ultimate objective was to help create a society in which there could exist honest white-black brotherhood--was that my earlier public image kept blocking me."
"I was trying to gradually reshape that image. I was trying to turn a corner, into a new regard by the public, especially to Negroes; I was no less angry than I had been...
...but at the same time the true brotherhood I had seen in the Holy World had influenced me to recognize that anger can blind human vision."
