Nina Simone kicks ass. She has some awesome quotes, pulled no punches, and was an incredible talent.

I believe she's talking about her friendship with Lorraine Hansberry here

To Be Young Gifted and Black was written about Hansberry (To Be Young Gifted and Black was also a Hansberry play). One of my favorite Nina Simone performances is this performance which she dedicated to Hansberry, who died a few years prior. Better than the studio version imo.

I have to cherish the memory of Nina Simone, especially after Angela Davis broke my heart.
