'Well, son, I'll tell you, life for me ain't been no crystal stare. It's had tacks in it, boards torn up, places w/ no carpet, bare. But all the time I've been climbing on & reaching landings & tunring corners & sometimes going into the dark where there ain't been no light. So, boy, don't you stop now. I still climbing & life for me ain't been no crystal stair but we must keep moving. If you can't fly, run. If you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl. But by all means, keep moving."

Ellis Haizlip speaks about (black) nation building: "There are black brothers & sisters who are into building, and this is what we should be about. For we black people are the major victims of the disorder & chaos out there. We are the ones who pay for the inefficiencies of this social order, so we have to get it together. When we look at our past we see that when black people are not victims of a culture that makes it difficult or impossible to explore our intellectual capabilities, and when our children are not living in a society where they are virtually programmed to become non-achievers, our attainments are as outstanding as they are in the areas that the frightened people don't block us from." B&W still of Dr. Charles Drew, founder of the blood bank. B&W still of Dr. Daniel Williams, who performed the first open heart surgery.
