| MALCOLM X: Message To The Grass Roots (audio excerpt) |
 |
http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com/
I would like to make a few comments
concerning the difference between the black
revolution and the Negro revolution. There's
a difference. Are they both the same? And if
they're not, what is the difference? What is
the difference between a black revolution and
a Negro revolution? First, what is a
revolution? Sometimes I'm inclined to believe
that many of our people are using this word
"revolution" loosely, without taking careful
consideration [of] what this word actually
means, and what its historic characteristics
are. When you study the historic nature of
revolutions, the motive of a revolution, the
objective of a revolution, and the result of
a revolution, and the methods used in a
revolution, you may change words. You may
devise another program. You may change your
goal and you may change your mind.
Look at the American Revolution in 1776. That
revolution was for what? For land. Why did
they want land? Independence. How was it
carried out? Bloodshed. Number one, it was
based on land, the basis of independence. And
the only way they could get it was bloodshed.
The French Revolution -- what was it based
on? The land-less against the landlord. What
was it for? Land. How did they get it?
Bloodshed. Was no love lost; was no
compromise; was no negotiation. I'm telling
you, you don't know what a revolution is.
'Cause when you find out what it is, you'll
get back in the alley; you'll get out of the
way. The Russian Revolution -- what was it
based on? Land. The land-less against the
landlord. How did they bring it about?
Bloodshed. You haven't got a revolution that
doesn't involve bloodshed. And you're afraid
to bleed. I said, you're afraid to bleed.
[As] long as the white man sent you to Korea,
you bled. He sent you to Germany, you bled.
He sent you to the South Pacific to fight the
Japanese, you bled. You bleed for white
people. But when it comes time to seeing your
own churches being bombed and little black
girls be murdered, you haven't got no blood.
You bleed when the white man says bleed; you
bite when the white man says bite; and you
bark when the white man says bark. I hate to
say this about us, but it's true. How are you
going to be nonviolent in Mississippi, as
violent as you were in Korea? How can you
justify being nonviolent in Mississippi and
Alabama, when your churches are being bombed,
and your little girls are being murdered, and
at the same time you're going to violent with
Hitler, and Tojo, and somebody else that you
don't even know?
If violence is wrong in America, violence is
wrong abroad. If it's wrong to be violent
defending black women and black children and
black babies and black men, then it's wrong
for America to draft us and make us violent
abroad in defense of her. And if it is right
for America to draft us, and teach us how to
be violent in defense of her, then it is
right for you and me to do whatever is
necessary to defend our own people right here
in this country.

The Human Experience Official Trailer
From Grassroots Films of Brooklyn, New York
comes THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE -- the story of a
band of brothers who travel the world in
search of the answers to the burning
questions: Who am I? Who is Man? Why do we
search for meaning? Their journey brings them
into the middle of the lives of the homeless
on the streets of New York City, the orphans
and disabled children of Peru, and the
abandoned lepers in the forests of Ghana,
Africa. What the young men discover changes
them forever. Through one on one interviews
and real life encounters, the brothers are
awakened to the beauty of the human person
and the resilience of the human spirit.

| Sooner Or Later By The Grass Roots |
 |
I came across this 1971 #9 hit from the Grass
Roots, "Sooner Or Later". It just happen to
be one of my fav's!!!
The Grass Roots are a U.S. rock and roll band
that charted between 1966 and 1975 as the
brainchild of songwriting duo P.F. Sloan and
Steve Barri.
In their career, The Grass Roots achieved one
platinum album, two gold albums, thirteen
gold singles and charted singles a total of
twenty nine times.
Between 1967 and 1972, The Grass Roots set a
record for being on the Billboard charts for
307 straight weeks.
They are one of only nine bands that have
charted twenty nine or more Top 100 Billboard
singles.
They have sold over twenty million records
worldwide.
Since the disbanding of the original group in
1975, early member Rob Grill and a newer
group of Grass Roots continue to perform and
tour with many shows each year. They hold the
all time attendance record for a one act, the
US concert of 600,000 people on July 4th,
1982 in Washington, DC.
They recently released a live album
chronicling their fourteen Top 40 Billboard
hits titled "Live Gold" in 2008.
