Even though you have falsely placed the banner of leadership of a wildcat strike on my shoulders, I shall wear it proudly. For what nobler banner could a Black working man bear? In this day and age, under the brutal oppression reaped from the backs of Black workers, the leadership of a wildcat strike is a badge of courage and honor.
