Regeneration of Africa
5 April 1906
I have chosen to speak to you on this occasion upon "The Regeneration of Africa." I am an African,
and I set my pride in my race over against a hostile public opinion. Men have tried to compare races
on the basis of some equality. In all the works of nature, equality, if by it we mean identity, is an
impossible dream! Search the universe! You will find no two units alike. The scientists tell us there
are no two cells, no two atoms, identical. Nature has bestowed upon each a peculiar individuality, an
exclusive patent from the great giants of the forest to the tenderest blade. Catch in your hand, if you
please, the gentle flakes of snow. Each is a perfect gem, a new creation; it shines in its own glory - a
work of art different from all of its aerial companions. Man, the crowning achievement of nature,
defies analysis. He is a mystery through all ages and for all time. The races of mankind are composed
of free and unique individuals. An attempt to compare them on the basis of equality can never be
finally satisfactory. Each is self. My thesis stands on this truth; time has proved it. In all races, genius
is like a spark, which, concealed in the bosom of a flint, bursts forth at the summoning stroke. It may
arise anywhere and in any race.
I would ask you not to compare Africa to Europe or to any other continent. I make this request not
from any fear that such comparison might bring humiliation upon Africa. The reason I have stated,-a
common standard is impossible! Come with me to the ancient capital of Egypt, Thebes, the city of
one hundred gates. The grandeur of its venerable ruins and the gigantic proportions of its
architecture reduce to insignificance the boasted monuments of other nations. The pyramids of
Egypt are structures to which the world presents nothing comparable. The mighty monuments seem
to look with disdain on every other work of human art and to vie with nature herself.
