Million Youth March
Harlem, New York, 5th, September, 1998
The United Kingdom Pan African Congress sends warm Pan African revolutionary greetings to the organisers and participants in this historic Million Youth March being held today, the fifth day of September, 1998.
We salute your courage and determination in the face of virulent attacks from New York Mayor Giulliani and other racists, Zionists and oppressors of the Blacks, the poor and the needy.
We urge you to continue in the relentless struggle started by our ancestors, to crush the forces of oppression and injustice, for Pan Africanism and the building of the BLACK MAN'S GOVERNMENT for which Marcus Garvey fought.
The same problems affecting African youths in America -- unemployment, miseducation, police violence, etc. are the same problems affecting African youths in Britain.
However, despite continuing economic, social and cultural oppression, we must recognise that the African world has won many victories and made tremendous progress since the coming of our ONE TRUE LIBERATOR, our redeemer, the Honorable, Marcus Garvey.
In the spirit of Marcus Garvey, we must organize and wage war against all those who wage war against the Africans anywhere and everywhere they are on our planet earth.
We call for a dialogue and a discussion between the daughters and sons of Africa everywhere to determine what we must do to fulfill the vision of Marcus Garvey, to achieve our Pan African objective, thus effectively creating the BLACK MAN'S GOVERNMENT for which the Honorable Marcus Garvey fought.
In this regard, we urge you to support our demands for:
a) making Marcus Garvey's birthday an African holiday;
b) the creation of the African passport so that Africans from home and abroad can travel freely throughout the African continent, and live, work and die anywhere on the continent that they choose;
c) the holding of a Global Pan African Congress in September 2000, to determine what is to be done to achieve our Pan African objective.
