Africa for the African

Africa is the negro's home. No foreign race has ever been able to expel him from it. Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Persians, Romans, Vandals, Arabs, have all brought war into Africa — have all, from time to time, made descents upon the continent or settled on its coasts; but none have been able to penetrate the intertropical regions, and take possession of the negro's home. In modern times, Anglo-Saxon and Celt have formed colonies on all parts of the coast, but they have been able to make no marked advance into the interior. In North America, European pressure has well-nigh destroyed the native races. In Australia and Tasmania they have literally withered away before the footsteps of foreigners. In New Zealand, they are being exterminated. In Africa alone has the destructive influence of European colonization failed to interfere with the growth of the aboriginal tribes. Whole tracts of country, depopulated by the slave-trade, have, in their defenceless state, withstood the colonizing cupidity of the white man. They await the advent of their rightful and natural owners, now in exile.KeywordsBody PoliticRacial PrideColonization SocietyNative RaceMarked AdvanceThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
