Author: Frantz Fanon
“We are nothing on earth if we are not in the first place the slave of a cause, the cause of the peoples, the cause of justice and liberty. I want you to know that even when the doctors had given me up, in the gathering dusk I was still thinking of the . . . peoples of the third World, and when I have persevered, it was for their sake.”
Written to his friend Roger Tayeb by Frantz Fanon during November 1961, four weeks prior to his (Fanon’s) death
