The Negro repatriation idea. in its entire scheme of things. is based solely upon the readiness and willingness of the Negro to accept the opportunity offered. I think every Negro in the country ought to vote for every Member of the Senate and the House who will get behind the movement and put it over. It is not an effort to compel the Negro to emigrate to his homeland. It is a movement to show him the way home. and not only to help him return to that home but to assist him in maintaining himself for a reasonable time when once repatriated. Over 2.000.000 Negroes in the United States have already signed a petition signifying their desire to return to their homeland in Liberia.
