What part of mankind is the “denizen of every soil, and the lord of terrestrial creation,” if it be not the black race?  The Creator has indisputably adapted us for the “denizens of every soil,” all that is left for us to do, is to make ourselves the “lords of terrestrial creation.”  The land is ours—­there it lies with inexhaustible resources; let us go and possess it.  In Eastern Africa must rise up a nation, to whom all the world must pay commercial tribute.
