I think the first Pan African Conference was held in 1919 in Barbadoes, or some place in the Caribbean, now at that time 1919, Marcus Garvey had thousands of Africans marching in the the streets of Harlem and other parts of the world, shouting Africa for Africans those at homec and those abroad. It was at that period of time when he was doing great works for his African race, liki having this great convention in 1920, and like acqiuring the Black Star Line, and putting these ships on the sea, with the intention, of repatriating African people some time in the future. Marcus Garvey I must say carried out that part of our African liberation mission, which he was assigned to do and he he did it well. There were those who took the baton of African liberation from Marcus Garvey, like Kwame Nkumah, Jomo Kenyatta, Kenneth Kaunda, Robert Mugabe, Julius Nyrere, Seke Ture, Kwame Ture and so many more, and they carried out their liberation missions, as it was given to each of them and they did it well. We who are now in the position to pass on the baton to the following generations, must also do our mission well, so that our following generations can be placed in avery good position to carry on the work of African liberation, which is to continue to work for Pan Africanization, among African people everywhere. Africa for Africans those at home and those abroad.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self determination to African people everywhere
