I Have No Desire To Take All

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

Among Some Of The Organized Methods Used To Control The World Is The Thing Known And Called Propaganda. Propaganda Has Done More To Defeat The Good Intentions Of Races And Nations Than Even Open Warfare. Propaganda Is A Method Or Medium Used By Organized Peoples To Convert Others Against Their Will. We Of The Negro Race Are Suffering More Than Any Other Race In The World From Propaganda... Propaganda To Destroy Our Hopes, Our Ambitions And Our Confidence In Self.

Chance Has Never Yet Satisfied The Hope Of A Suffering People. Action, Self-reliance, The Vision Of Self And The Future Have Been The Only Means By Which The Oppressed Have Seen And Realized The Light Of Their Own Freedom.

If I Die In Atlanta My Work Shall Then Only Begin, But I Shall Live, In The Physical Or Spiritual To See The Day Of Africa’s Glory.

Take Advantage Of Every Opportunity; Where There Is None, Make It For Yourself, And Let History Record That As We Toiled Laboriously And Courageously, We Worked To Live Gloriously.
