"A people cannot exist freely without land, and the so-called Negro in America is evidence of that fact. The slave-master passed laws limiting the so-called Negro in land ownership or limiting the areas in which such purchases or even rentals could be made. Are you not left restricted to the poorer sections the slave-master is abandoning throughout America? "All of this is part of the clever plan to discourage my people from wanting to own producing land for themselves and to cause a great dislike within them for
having
anything
to do
with
tilling, cultivating,
extracting and producing for themselves as other free and independent people. It is a shame! This shows you and I what white America is to us and just why we have not been able to do anything worthwhile for self. They want us to be helpless so they can mistreat us as always. We must come together and unite. It is time!

"Let us capture the market of our people by producing their needs. We cannot produce our needs on the soil of another. "Without some of this earth for a home that we can call our own, rest assured we will forever be 22 million begging slaves at the door of some nation."

"COME ALONG WITH ME, if you would iove to BUILD an economic system for our people under the name BLACK, which is adopted from me, by you, for the last few years. " I HAVE BEEN PREACHING BLACK for about 39 years. If you are going to teach my teachings and follow me, in the teaching of BLACK and BLACK DOING FOR BLACK, it would be wise of you to go along with me, for I HAVE DIVINE BACKING, while you have only yourself.

In this way, you and I will not have any trouble in uniting. It is a fool who does not love himself and bis people. Your black skin is the best, and never try changing its color. Stay away
