Alice Walker speaking at an Evening of Conscience held Oct. 2nd, 2006 by The World
Can’t Wait – Drive Out the Bush Regime at the Grand Lake Theater in
Oakland, CA.
Listen (with an introduction from Boots Riley): [mp3]
“Who are we becoming?
Who are we becoming? What does it mean to be a human being? We are
completely right at the verge of really not having a clue.
“And that is why it
is so essential to stop the people who have taken our government. They
are not people who can take us, as a species, where we need to be
going. They don’t know where they are supposed to be going. They have
no clue. And so it is really truly up to us — and I keep wanting to
say to everyone, it is up to us, and lovingly — as horrendous and as
terrifying as this is — I say this peacefully and lovingly because of
the peace that I’m saying we need to embody if we expect to see it in
the world.”
