Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was returning to the United States, and I felt out of place in the white-dominated airplane. I thought about the political climate in America, which was also turbulent. I knew that the air in America was no less turbulent than in Ghana.

#2 I had started making plans to go back to America to work with Malcolm. My friends and colleagues began treating me as if I had suddenly become special.

#3 I had been in love many times before I met Guy, but I had never surrendered myself to anyone. I had given my word and my body, but I had never given my soul. The African had the habit of being obeyed, and he insisted on having all of me.

#4 When I returned to the United States, I was ready to work with Malcolm X on building the Organization of African-American Unity. I had discarded my vilification of the white racists on the plane, and had even begun to feel a little sorry for them.
