In April 1960 I had organized the SNCC due to the Woolworth sit-in. Who am I. I once said, 'This may be only a ream of mine, but I think it can be made real.' So who am I. Who am I A black fiery nationalist leader born May 19, 1925. Who am I, I am the 4th of 8 children that is a spokeman for the Islam nation. Who am I, Encounter racism before i was born. Who am I, arrested on charges of larceny and sentenced to ten years in jail. So who am I. Who am I, I am a african american black woman that is the youngest of 20 children. Who am I, When I was young my mother gave me a black doll so i could have self confedence. Who am I, Became a sharecropper just like my mother and father.
