Very few Black people ever embraced back to Africa movements, and very few actually, a tiny number actually went back to Africa. They said, "We are going to make America live up to the ideals of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States."

In fact, they produced a world-class civilization, the African American civilization, in music, in dance, in oratory, in religion, in writing.
