"My fa­ther didn't know his last name. My fa­ther got his last name from his grand­fa­ther and his grand­fa­ther got it from his grand­fa­ther who got it from the slave­mas­ter. The re­al names of our peo­ple were de­stroyed dur­ing slav­ery. The last name of my fore­fa­thers was tak­en from them when they were brought to Amer­i­ca and made slaves, and then the name of the slave­mas­ter was giv­en, which we refuse, we re­ject that name to­day and refuse it. I nev­er ac­knowl­edge it what­so­ev­er."
