It Is Far Better To Be Free

I Am Not African Because I Was Born In Africa But Because Africa Was Born In Me.

No People Without A Government Of Their Own Can Expect To Be Treated On The Same Level As People Of Independent Sovereign States. It Is Far Better To Be Free To Govern Or Misgovern Yourself Than To Be Governed By Anybody Else . . .

It Is Only The Ending Of Capitalism, Colonialism, Imperialism And Neocolonialism And The Attainment Of World Communism That Can Provide The Conditions Under Which The Race Question Can Finally Be Abolished And Eliminated.

I Believe Strongly And Sincerely That With The Deep-rooted Wisdom And Dignity, The Innate Respect For Human Lives, The Intense Humanity That Is Our Heritage, The African Race, United Under One Federal Government, Will Emerge Not As Just Another World Bloc To Flaunt Its Wealth And Strength, But As A Great Power Whose Greatness Is Indestructible Because It Is Built Not On Fear, Envy And Suspicion, Nor Won At The Expense Of Others, But Founded On Hope, Trust, Friendship And Directed To The Good Of All Mankind.

It Is Far Easier For The Proverbial Camel To Pass Through The Needle's Eye, Hump And All, Than For An Erstwhile Colonial Administration To Give Sound And Honest Counsel Of A Political Nature To Its Liberated Territory.
