“and we know as well as you know-that this country was built on the blood and the sweat of black people. And all we are saying to you today-now, what you have done in the past, you've done that—but we can't let you get away with just trying to wipe us out as human beings.” (1971)

The Pope has died on ‘Easter Monday’.
