“We encountered a sense of purpose, of dedication, of vision, which, We are persuaded, found its genesis in the common acceptance of the ideal of African unity, in the common response to the unique challenge which modern African presents to each of Us, in the common crusade in which We are all enlisted…. It is this spirit which will sweep Us forward to final, conclusive glorious victory in the struggle to overcome the obstacles which still remain before Us in the making of a united Africa. It is in this, We believe, that the real triumph of Africa lies today.” His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I
