“You see in the organizations of Marcus Garvey and Elijah Muhammad, not just organizations centered around some special concern, just concerned with jobs or just with the legal aspects of black people or only with the education of black people, but organizations that were concerned with all aspects that had to do with the advancement of black people. In the organizations of Marcus Garvey and Elijah Muhammad we see the advancement of a culture, not just a political ideology, but of a full culture that concerned itself with the reconstruction of the family, the education of its children, the development of an economic system—ultimately with the development of a nation and the development of a people.”
