The Realization of Afrikan Consciousness: Afrikan consciousness will realize its full power, second to none, when it dedicated itself exclusively to the advancement and satisfaction of Afrikan interests BEFORE ALL OTHERS ; when it bases its organization on a realistic and truthful knowledge of Afrikan history and culture, a truthful knowledge of the history, culture, intentionalities, and powers of the enemies or would-be-enemies of Afrikan peoples; when it acquires a solid and courageous knowledge of reality, and self; when it becomes determined to achieve self-control, high self-esteem; when it achieves self-acceptance, and develops its ability to form more affirmative, affectionate, cooperative intragroup relations; when it produces to and for its own satisfaction; when it organizes itself to overcome and overthrow [w]hite supremacy and successfully defend Afrikan peoples against the deprecations of other ethnic groups . . . The royal road to Afrikan Power, to Black Power, to a powerful Black Consciousness runs through the reclamation by Afrikan peoples of their Afrikan identity and their irresistible will to be the determiners of their own ultimate destiny.

We must be the embodiment of our peoples aspirations. And all we are required to do is to show the light and the masses will find the way”- Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe (Fort Hare Graduation 21 October 1949)
