New Orleans, La, July 13-Inspired
by dream Marcus Carney $22,000-a-
year negro provisional president OF
Africa and the president general of
the Universal Negro Improvement
Association spoke Friday night
in Longshoremen's hall. to 1000 ne
groes on emigration to Africa, after
having outwitted police with an in
junction restraining them from inter-
! fering.
Despite Gavey's failure to make
plain ways and means of accomplish
ing his ideal. a negro republic in AT
rice to walk down the avenues of
eternity hand in hand with the great
white republic in the United States"
a responsive chord was touched in
the audience.
His gibes at their present condi-
ton, sneers at the dreams Of sociaol
equality with the white race pointed
remarks as to their general shiftless-
ness and inaptitude, were treased
with the same never-swerving good
humor. A searchlight was turned on
the mind Of the present day nego
portraying him as he is. a searcher
after ideals possibly false. but never
theless dissatisfied with his present
conditions and longing for some mean
some power, some land where he may
be bettered and where he may realize
his ambitions.
1.-THE chocolate colored preachers Of
New Orleans so afraid that some
harm may come to their little flocks
are not honest They are not sincere.
l say to you today that IL Jesus Christ
were to come back to earth he would
whip them even as he scourged the
hyprocrits from the temple in an
cient days. They have tried to cause
me all manner Of embarrassment but
we will meet-some day-some-
where"
Garvey refuted all charges of disloy
atty stating that the organization was
chartered under laws of the state of
New Yok and demanding: 'Would
a disloyal organization in this coun-
ny have grown TO 100000 in the
last six months?"
I'VE find as we journey through the
world that in every county the sew
eral races are arrayed against us.
segregating us, keeping us separate.
They are right too, know they are
right, you know they are right. we
didn't discover or find or build
the West Indies nor have we done any
thing in China. The old question Of
lace still remains. A hundred years
from new things will have changed.
The United States will not be large
enough for two races.
Even now ask yourselves what
can you do here. Any Negro who as
pires to be president of this country
has long long dream in front Of him.
Any Negro who aspires toward con-
gress has another long, long dream In
cate the Negro and still keep him
down. II he refuses to keep on
picking cotton and attempts to press
his claim for equality, well-you know
what happens to him.
Throughout the years Carney trace
the history of slavery, from the days
when Queen Elizabeth granted per-
mission to the colonies in America to
use the black man in Africa as a
slave to "the present day when the
negro is a slave without being
in bondage"
Throughout the years Garvey traced
the history of the other races, show
ing their accomplishments and their
achievements, their structures and
their governments, finally bringing
every negro in the audience to his
feet with the last long-drawn-o out
truth: And the negro is still picking
cotton"
We can't blame the people OF
America for Jim Growing us. We
didn't build no street cars. We don't
build no railroads. There are just two
ways could get from here to New
York, could either ride on the white
mans railroad and take the provision
that he is kind enough to take for
me, orr could walk from here to
New York"
