Thank you for your input. I’ve learned a lot of helpful information. Now, please understand we do not advocate hate or race superiority. Nevertheless, I do realize that as Black men we must define our reality and create the best socio-economic conditions for our families. It is our responsibility to develop positive conditions for our children’s children. I believe that other men(s) Anglo, Asian, Arab, and Indian, also desire the very best future for their children’s children.

In short, we believe that Almighty God (the God of Abraham) will unite nearly a million people from around the world, on African soil to form a well balance government, and thus “help� to heal all humanity. At present, the Black Men and Women 10 year forecast in America is dreary and very bleak. Many of your top national leadership, are greatly influenced by wealth, prestige, individualism, and materialism.

Nevertheless, we cannot wait for our top Black leadership to ignite a much-needed positive social movement. Since the civil rights movement, there has not appeared an alliance of black ministers for social change. It appears all of the potential Stoke Carl Michel minds and Angela Davis spirits are deep asleep inside the corporate American dream. Therefore we have no other recourse but to advocate extreme positive change.

We believe that any positive social changes created today, can only stay perpetuated with national harmony. Accordantly, national harmony can only become a true reality through love and intelligence. We ask, where in America can one find social harmony? Will social harmony ever exist in the low- incomes communities of America? No. We ask, can we help a good percent of our people by developing a new nation with balance, love, and intelligence? Yes. Do outer people desire as we do? Yes. Then we say, “Come let us reason together with love and intelligence�.

The Honorable, Nobel, Genius Marcus Garvey speech:
“Our race has been without a will; without a purpose of its own, for all this length of time. Because of that we have developed few men who are able to understand the strenuousness of the age in which we live. Where can we find in this race of ours real men. Men of character, men of purpose, men of confidence, men of faith, men who really know themselves?

I have come across so many weaklings who profess to be leaders, and in the test I have found them but the slaves of a nobler class. They perform the will of their masters without question. To me, a man has no master but God. Man in his authority is a sovereign lord. As for the individual man, so of the individual race. This feeling makes man so courageous, so bold, as to make it impossible for his brother to intrude upon his rights.

So few of us can understand what it takes to make a man - the man who will never say die; the man who will never give up; the man who will never depend upon others to do for him what he ought to do for himself; the man who will not blame God, who will not blame Nature, who will not blame Fate for his condition; but the man who will go out and make conditions to suit himself.

Oh, how disgusting life becomes when on every hand you hear people (who bear your image, who bear your resemblance) telling you that they cannot make it, that Fate is against them, that they cannot get a chance. If 400,000,000 Negroes can only get to know themselves, to know that in them is a sovereign power, is an authority that is absolute, then in the next twenty-four hours we would have we would have a nation, an empire, - resurrected, not from the will of others to see us rise, - but from our own determination to rise, irrespective of what the world thinks
