The Masses Of The People Of Africa

It Is Clear That We Must Find An African Solution To Our Problems, And That This Can Only Be Found In African Unity. Divided We Are Weak; United, Africa Could Become One Of The Greatest Forces For Good In The World.

For Centuries, Europeans Dominated The African Continent. The White Man Arrogated To Himself The Right To Rule And To Be Obeyed By The Non-white; His Mission, He Claimed, Was To "civilize" Africa. Under This Cloak, The Europeans Robbed The Continent Of Vast Riches And Inflicted Unimaginable Suffering On The African People.

We Prefer Self-government With Danger To Servitude In Tranquility.

Countrymen, The Task Ahead Is Great Indeed, And Heavy Is The Responsibility; And Yet It Is A Noble And Glorious Challenge - A Challenge Which Calls For The Courage To Dream, The Courage To Believe, The Courage To Dare, The Courage To Do, The Courage To Envision, The Courage To Fight, The Courage To Work, The Courage To Achieve - To Achieve The Highest Excellencies And The Fullest Greatness Of Man. Dare We Ask For More In Life?

All People Of African Descent, Whether They Live In North Or South America, The Caribbean, Or In Any Part Of The World Are Africans And Belong To The African Nation.
