Fred Hampton:
There has to be an educational program - that's very important. As a matter of fact, it is so important to us that a person has to go through six weeks of our political education before we can consider himself a member of the Party, able to even run our ideology for the Party. Why? Because if they don't have an education, then, they're nowhere. You dig what I'm sayin'? They're nowhere; because, they don't even know why they doin' what they doin'. You might get people caught up in the emotions of the movement. You understand me? You might get them caught up because they're poor and they want something. And then if he's not educated, they'll want more and before you know it, they'll be capitalist and before you know it we'll have negro imperialism
