WORLD WIDE AFRICA THE VOICE OF THE PAN AFRICAN MOVEMENT

"I believe in God, who made of one blood all nations that on earth dwell. I believe that all men, black and brown and white are brothers, varying through time and opportunity, in from a gift and feature, but differing in no essential particular, and alike in soul and the possibility of infinite development. Especially do I believe in the Negro race: in the beauty of genius, the sweetness of its soul, and its strength in that meekness which shall inherit this turbulent earth.  I believe in Pride of race and lineage and self: in pride of self so,deep as a scorn injustice to other selves; in pride of lineage so great as to despise no man's father; in pride of race so chivalrous as neither to offer bastardized to the weak nor beg wedlock of the strong, knowing that men may be brothers in Christ, even though they be not brothers in - Law.  I believe in Service --humble, reverent service, from the blackening of boots to the whitening of souls; for work is Heaven, Idleness Hell, and Wage is "Well done!" Of the Master, who summoned all them that labor and are heavy laden, making no distinction black sweating cotton hands or Georgia and the first families of Virginia, since all distinction not based on deeds is devilish and not divine.  I believe in the Devil and his angels, who want only work to the narrow opportunity for struggling human beings, especially if they be black; who spit in the faces of the fallen, strike them that cannot strike again, believe the worst and work to prove it. Hating the image which their Maker stamped on a brother's soul."
