Here is a tree rooted in African soil, nourished with waters from the rivers of Afrika. Come and sit under its shade and become, with us, the leaves of the same branch and the branches of the same tree.

The philosophy of Africanism holds out the hope of a genuine democracy beyond the stormy sea of struggle.
