Gandhi's concept of Satyagraha was a way of ... he said The soul can remain unconquered and unconquerable even when the body is imprisoned, (Gandhi, 1951). During the early stages of Gandhi's political career there was a time when many Europeans in South Africa despised and sought to harm him.

The actual deserts in Africa are quite small, and those images of starving African Negroes you see on your TV is only ...

- ... Appropriations Hearing, the articles from the World Health Organization; these are official records -- facts of history -- that can not be disputed.

This event was followed immediately by the first outbreak of AIDS on this ... documented -- it is completely true. In our first program, we made many references to material that you can and should read, such as the Strecker Memorandum, by Dr. Robert Strecker. Another work called "Who Murdered Africa," by Dr. William Douglas. And an incredible book called "A Higher Form of Killing," which documents over 500 specific cases of biological experimentation by our government on an unsuspecting public. If you don't think ... could never have occurred spontaneously in Nature. That animal viruses cannot jump species, as we are being told they did, as we are being asked to believe happened -- when allegedly, a green monkey bit an Africa and precipitated the pandemic of AIDS. We know as a scientific fact that viruses cannot jump species, unless they are specifically engineered to do so. And we also know for a scientific fact that ...

- ... on them. When Marcus returned to Jamaica he got re-acquainted with a group of friends and founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), which sought, among other things, to work on black emigration to Africa.

Instead, he is merely portraying the life of Kunta in an African village of the 1700s. By depicting Juffure, he is able to show that the Africans indeed had their own way of life in Africa. They were not savages that whites thought them to be as but rather civilized human beings with system and order established in their villages as well as a very humane family structure. In fact, Haley ... began rubbing against the boards. (Haley 179) In the hold where these men lie, there is constant moaning and screaming from the physical anguish as well as mental anguish.
