Black men, you were once great; you shall be great again. Lose not courage or faith, go forward.

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.

Our success educationally, industrially and politically is based upon the protection of a nation founded by ourselves. And the nation can be nowhere else but in Africa.

In a world of wolves one should go armed, and one of the most powerful defensive weapons within the reach of Negroes is the practice of race first in all parts of the world.

Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men.

It is unfortunate that we should find ourselves at this time the only disorganized group.

Up, you mighty race, accomplish what you will.
