National Leadership of Uhuru Movement on Tour in the San Francisco Bay Area!

"You have the emergence in human society of this thing called the State. What is the State? The State is organized bureaucracy. It is the police department. It is the army, the navy. It is the prison system, the courts…The reality is the police and the State become necessary in human society only at that juncture where there is a split between those who have and those who ain’t got."
--Omali Yeshitela as heard on ‘Police State’ from "Let’s Get Free" by Dead Prez
