I Read "up From Slavery" And Then

This Propaganda Of Dis-associating Western Negroes From Africa Is Not A New One. For Many Years White Propagandists Have Been Printing Tons Of Literature To Impress Scattered Ethiopia, Especially That Portion Within Their Civilization, With The Idea That Africa Is A Despised Place, Inhabited By Savages, And Cannibals, Where No Civilized Human Being Should Go, Especially Black Civilized Human Beings. This Propaganda Is Promulgated For The Cause That Is Being Realized Today. That Cause Is Colonial Expansion For The White Nations Of The World.

Let Us Not Try To Be The Best Or Worst Of Others, But Let Us Make The Effort To Be The Best Of Ourselves.

At No Time Within The Last Five-hundred Years Can One Point To A Single Instance Of The Negro As A Race Of Haters.

God And Nature First Made Us What We Are, And Then Out Of Our Own Created Genius We Make Ourselves What We Want To Be. Follow Always That Great Law. Let The Sky And God Be Our Limit And Eternity Our Measurement.

Let Us Prepare Today. For The Tomorrows In The Lives Of The Nations Will Be So Eventful That Negroes Everywhere Will Be Called Upon To Play Their Part In The Survival Of The Fittest Human Group.
