You can never curb the prejudice of the one race or nation against the other by law. It must be regulated by one’s own feeling, one’s own will, and if one’s feelings and will rebel against you no law in the world can curb it. Prejudice can be actuated by different reasons. Sometimes the reason is economic, and sometimes political. You can only obstruct it by progress and force. (Marcus Garvey)
“YOU HAVE AFRICA, you are in other continents and islands of the sea, you are millions upon millions strong, I appeal to you stop being the under-dog and footstools of others, stop complaining, whining and talking about bad luck and misfortune – Shake yourself – get up- start over, overcome the ills around you, you are responsible for what you are, what you want to be, blame no one but yourself, you have the chance, what you want is the will to do, and to dare others to stop you. Thats is why they watch you so carefully -that you may not get away with any progressive ideas which would be a surprise to the world of theirs.”
-Marcus Garvey
