"And a number of people said to me, well, you know, the black community's not interested in the Vietnam War. And my response was that black people in America, historically, carried the burden of racial and economic oppression, they do not have to carry the burden of ignorance. And to be in public life, you have to be part of the educative process and my job is to go out there and help people understand the connection between waging war and spending billions of dollars on military apparati that detracted from the priorities of this country." — Ron Dellums, 1994
