I listen to this speech over and over again and I always pick up something new. This is a riveting diatribe for sure. "Head to the future, without the crimes of the past".

This is absolutely one of the best speeches that I have ever heard in my life. Thank you for posting!!

This speech at BYU shows a man who has battled with his beliefs...Mormons are big on testiment .. share your story of where and what you have been and tell what and why you have come through your trials and found God.. honesty with oneself ..I love him I wish I could tell him myself and shake his hand and thank him ..People talk shit about him but I dont see none of that

Leroy Eldridge Cleaver, escritor estadounidense, activista político. Ministro de Información de los Panteras Negras.

Cleaver later turned around and then supported Reagan in 1980 and 1984. He then became a Republican US Senate candidate in 1986. I met him briefly at that time. Fascinating person as he went through different stages of political beliefs and positions. My parents gave me a copy of "Soul on Ice" to read while I was in junior high school (I guess a strange act considering my parents at that time in the early 70s were upper middle class white Republicans but "wanted me to understand things") - made me appreciate what the Black Panthers fought for and what they did. His language in this speech may be coarse, but it is direct and gives great insight in the grievances of the underclass, and especially blacks, of that period. I am still a Republican, though not a Trump supporter, who recognizes that you have to listen to all the political voices out there to get to the truth. The truth is complicated and requires us to hear things we do not necessarily want to hear. That is the lesson I can pull from Cleaver's life.

Eldridge had a lot more to say than what is heard here, as he was talking shit when talking shit was in style. His speech at Syracuse University in 1967 (once titled "Dig"), was more substantive. Bobby was the speaker, the communicator.

Those were the times!The Civil Right Act of 1964, landmark civil rights legislation, prohibits discrimination in a number of settings including: employment, housing, public accommodations. For the entire text of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, see FindLaw's codes section. Specifically, Title IV promotes the desegregation of public schools and authorizes the U.S. Attorney General to file lawsuits to enforce the Act. It was today allowed by SCOTUS 12:58h p.m.

check out Eldridge cleavers 1981 BYU speech. He bacame a changed man and loved his country and his people which were Americans Black and White

Here we are in 21 not much progress?

I was a very young child when this man spoke. The days of Kennedy, JFK and Bobby, Malcom X, when for a season we were all filled with hope. He spoke as an aged man at Ball State University. He wanted a Mother in the White House. He wanted political candidates to be required to write their own speeches. Now, efforts are made to overturn Roe vs Wade. May 2022. And wouldn't it be interesting to know what Cleaver would say about Jan. 6th. There is an interesting speech in Ball State University Digital Library from Cleaver, Unity Week, 1995. Let me know if any can access it. It seems unshareable.

Is this speech from 1968 or 2014? Times have not changed but for the worst. Extremely candid.

In the most controversial part of the book, Cleaver acknowledges committing acts of rape, stating that he initially raped black women in the ghetto "for practice" and then embarked on the serial rape of white women. He described these crimes as politically inspired, motivated by a genuine conviction that the rape of white women was "an insurrectionary act".

Listening to this audio in its entirety is still preferable to reading two pages of Ta-Nehisi Coates. The spelling is close enough.
