I would
like to say that I did not kill Bobby Lambert. That I'm an innocent
black man that is being murdered.This is a lynching that is happening
in America tonight.
There's
overwhelming and compelling evidence of my defense that has never
been heard in any court of America. What is happening here is an
outrage for any civilized country to anybody anywhere to look at
what's happening here is wrong. I thank all of the people that have
rallied to my cause. They've been standing in support of me. Who
have finished with me.
I say
to Mr. Lambert's family, I did not kill Bobby Lambert. You are pursuing
the execution of an innocent man.
I want
to express my sincere thanks to all of ya'll. We must continue to
move forward and do everything we can to outlaw legal lynching in
America. We must continue to stay strong all around the world, and
people must come together to stop the systematic killing of poor
and innocent black people.
We
must continue to stand together in unity and to demand a moratorium
on all executions. We must not let this murder/lynching be forgotten
tonight, my brothers. We must take it to the nation. We must keep
our faith. We must go forward.
We
recognize that many leaders have died. Malcom X, Martin Luther King,
and others who stood up for what was right. They stood up for what
was just. We must, you must brothers, that's why I have called you
today. You must carry on that condition.
What
is here is just a lynching that is taking place. But they're going
to keep on lynching us for the next 100 years, if you do not carry
on that tradition, and that period of resistance. We will prevail.
We may loose this battle, but we will win the war.
This
death, this lynching will be avenged. It will be avenged, it must
be avenged. The people must avenge this murder. So
my brothers, all of ya'll stay strong, continue to move forward.
Know
that I love all of you. I love the people, I love all of you for
your blessing, strength, for your courage, for your dignity, the
way you have come here tonight, and the way you have protested and
kept this nation together. Keep moving forward, my brothers.
Slavery
couldn't stop us. The lynching couldn't stop us in the south. This
lynching will not stop us tonight. We will go forward.
Our
destiny in this country is freedom and liberation. We will gain
our freedom and liberation by any means necessary. By any means
necessary, we keep marching forward.
I love
you, Mr. Jackson. Bianca, make sure that the state does not get
my body. Make sure that we get my name as Shaka Sankofa.
My
name is not Gary Graham. Make sure that it is properly presented
on my grave. Shaka Sankofa.
I died
fighting for what I believe in. I died fighting for what was just
and what was right. I did not kill Bobby Lambert, and the truth
is going to come out. It will be brought out.
I want
you to take this thing off into international court, Mr. Robert
Mohammed and all ya'll. I want you, I want to get my family and
take this down to international court and file a law suit.
Get
all the video tapes of all the beatings. They have beat me up in
the back. They have beat me up at the unit over there. Get all the
video tapes supporting that law suit. And make the public exposed
to the genocide and this brutality world, and let the world see
what is really happening here behind closed doors. Let the world
see the barbarity and injustice of what is really happening here.
You must get those video tapes. You must make it exposed, this injustice,
to the world.
You
must continue to demand a moratorium on all executions. We must
move forward Minister Robert Mohammed.
Ashanti
Chimurenga, I love you for standing with me, my sister. You are
a strong warrior queen. You will continue to be string in everything
that you do. Believe in yourself, you must hold your head up, in
the spirit of Winnie Mandela, in the spirit of Nelson Mandela. Ya'll
must move forward. We will stop this lynching.
Reverend
Al Sharpton, I love you, my brother.
Bianca
Jagger, I love all of you. Ya'll make sure that we continue to stand
together.
Reverend
Jesse Jackson and know that this murder, this lynching will not
be forgotten. I love you, too, my brother. This is genocide in America.
This is what happens to black men when they stand up and protest
for what is right and just.
We
refuse to compromise, we refuse to surrender the dignity for what
we know is right. But we will move on, we have been strong in the
past. We will continue to be strong as a people. You can kill a
revolutionary, but you cannot stop the revolution. The revolution
will go on.
The
people will carry the revolution on. You are the people that must
carry that revolutionary on, in order to liberate our children from
this genocide and for what is happening here in America tonight.
What has happened for the last 100 or so years in America. This
is the part of the genocide, this is part of the African (unintelligible),
that we as black people have endured in America.
But
we shall overcome, we will continue with this. We will continue,
we will gain our freedom and liberation, by any means necessary.
Stay strong. They cannot kill us. We will move forward.
To
my sons, to my daughters, all of you. I love all of you. You have
been wonderful. Keep your heads up. Keep moving forward. Keep united.
Maintain the love and unity in the community.
And
know that victory is assured. Victory for the people will be assured.
We will gain our freedom and liberation in this country. We will
gain it and we will do it by any means necessary. We will keep marching.
March on black people. Keep your heads high.
March
on. All ya'll leaders. March on. Take your message to the people.
Preach the moratorium for all executions. We're gonna stop, we are
going to end the death penalty in this country. We are going to
end it all across this world. Push forward people. And know that
what ya'll are doing is right. What ya'll are doing is just. This
is nothing more that pure and simple murder. This is what is happening
tonight in America. Nothing more than state sanctioned murders,
state sanctioned lynching, right here in America, and right here
tonight. This is what is happening my brothers. Nothing less. They
know I'm innocent. They've got the facts to prove it. They know
I'm innocent. But they cannot acknowledge my innocence, because
to do so would be to publicly admit their guilt. This is something
these racist people will never do. We must remember brothers, this
is what we're faced with. You must take this endeavor forward. You
must stay strong. You must continue to hold your heads up, and to
be there. And I love you, too, my brother. All of you who are standing
with me in solidarity. We will prevail. We will keep marching. Keep
marching black people, black power. Keep marching black people,
black power. Keep marching black people. Keep marching black people.
They are killing me tonight. They are murdering me tonight
