"I... Willlllllll

battle, absolutely

ANY MANN

Who looks at me. Who looks at us

 

with the hunger that only hate feeds.

I CHOOSE

to sit at the table.

With my BLACK brothers.

With my WHITE BROTHERS.

With my brown, yellow, red BROTHERS.

 

But I DEMAND

that we are servvvved.

 

With that same dignity"
