Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds!

None but ourselves can free our minds.

We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery, for though others may free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind. Mind is our only ruler; sovereign.

I read "Up From Slavery" and then my dream -- if I may so call it -- of being a race leader dawned.

Our success educationally, industrially and politically is based upon the protection of a nation founded by ourselves. And the nation can be nowhere else but in Africa.

Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men.
