It is important that the leadership of our struggle come from among our own people,
just as it is crucial that we build the necessary machinery that will develop this
leadership. The problem of leadership has always been a vexing one for Black people.
We must break with the old style of leadership forced upon us by the prevailing class
standards or we will fail in our struggle. Nonetheless, leadership is important,
especially to Black people, and without it we will never triumph in our struggle.
It is past time that Black intellectuals, professionals, and so-called Black scholars
assumed a more active role in the leadership of the liberation struggle, instead of
laying back theorizing and writing essays in a vacuum, or in various Black bourgeois
publications.
