"There is no more doubt in my mind that we have ultimately to return to Africa than there is of the existence of God…Four millions of us in this country are at school, learning the doctrines of Christianity and the elements of civil government. And as soon as we are educated sufficiently to assume control of our vast ancestral domain, we will hear the voice of a mysterious Providence, saying ‘Return to the land of your fathers.’"

- Bishop Henry McNeal Turner
