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.
