There Is No Negro Problem. The Problem

You Have To Take Power. No One Gives It.

One By One I Have Seen Obstacles Removed, Errors Corrected, Prejudices Softened, Proscriptions Relinquished, And My People Advancing In All The Elements That Go To Make Up The Sum Of The General Welfare. And I Remember That God Reigns In Eternity, And That Whatever Delays, Whatever Disappointments And Discouragements May Come, Truth, Justice, Liberty And Humanity Will Ultimately Prevail.

Instead Of The Bright, Blue Sky Of America, I Am Covered With The Soft, Grey Fog Of The Emerald Isle. I Breathe, And Lo! The Chattel Becomes A Man.

Every One Of Us Should Be Ashamed To Be Free While His Brother Is A Slave.

Neither We, Nor Any Other People, Will Ever Be Respected Till We Respect Ourselves And We Will Never Respect Ourselves Till We Have The Means To Live Respectfully.
