“It is hoped that when the time comes for American and West Indian Africans to settle in Africa, they will realize their responsibility and their duty. It will not be to go to Africa for the purpose of exercising an over-lordship over the natives, but it shall be the purpose of the Universal Negro Improvement Association[ii] to have established in Africa that brotherly cooperation which make the interest of the African native and the American and West Indian African one and the same, that is to say, we shall enter into a common partnership to build up Africa in the interest of our race.”
― Marcus Garvey, Emancipated From Mental Slavery
