Three weeks before he was killed, he had promised Frederick Douglas,
our leader then, that he would go before congress and present a bill
that would demand one state in this country or send us back to Africa.
We must have our name that we may know who we are, and can serve our
God.
Our president, Garfield, picked up our righteous issue, and they
assassinated him for telling the truth as he saw it.
Our late president McKinley hit the righteous trail, and spoke the
truth as he saw it, and they put him to sleep.
Our late president, Roosevelt, stepped out in the path of righteous,
and invited Mr. Booker T. Washington to luncheon with him at the white
house, and when he was on his campaign in nineteen hundred and twelve
they shot him.
When Mr. Marcus Garvey stepped out on the platform of righteousness,
they shot him twice while he was in his office, but God spared him to
rest a while in jail, until the good-thinking white people set him free.
My open opinion of the man, I know a crook when I see one and deal with
him. I was introduced to Mr. Garvey in nineteen hundred and nineteen
at the Messiah Baptist Church in Yonkers, New York. I was chosen to
make the opening address on this night. He organized a division in this
church, one of the finest colored churches in the State of New York,
and I was one of those who joined. But this division went down through
jealousy among its members. Then I watched Mr. Garvey, his officers and
members and those who read his paper. By doing this I found out where
the trouble lay. It was in his crooked officers. Nine out of every ten
showed up at the conventions dishonest. When Mr. Garvey began to expose
them, they began to plot against him. The worst of it all is, that the
majority of them all were preachers who were all in, down and out.
I found the work of this organization in the bible. In nineteen hundred
and twenty-one, I called my friends together in Yonkers, New York, and
laid the facts before them. I suggested that they should organize a
division of their own, which they did. I have been watching Mr. Garvey
from then until now.
My opinion of him is that he is one of the most honest men of all time,
with a big heart, no jealousy toward any man. I do not believe that Mr.
Garvey would entertain any evil thoughts. He means good to all, both
white and black. He is the best colored friend that the white man has.
He is only trying to take a great curse off of the white people that
God is about to send on them, because they won’t let the Black Jews go
back to Africa. He sees it and knows it. I myself have seen the same
thing. The destruction is coming if these stiff neck black people are
not sent from among you whites. You must let them go and serve their
God. This is the road to peace and prosperity.
Now my white and black friends, this subject was written with a spirit
of love, for love is the only way, and the only sources that the
nations or races can get together.
