A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.
From Marcus Garvey
If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life.
The whole world is run on bluff.
Whatsoever things common to man, that man has done, man can do.
I regard the Klan, the Anglo-Saxon clubs and White American societies, as far as the Negro is concerned, as better friends of the race than all other groups of hypocritical whites put together.
I have no desire to take all black people back to Africa; there are blacks who are no good here and will likewise be no good there.
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.
You may call me a Klansman if you will, but, potentially, every white man is a Klansman, as far as the Negro in competition with whites socially, economically and politically is concerned, and there is no use lying.
Men who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences.
I know no national boundary where the Negro is concerned. The whole world is my province until Africa is free.
