Propaganda is the science of mind control and getting people to think a certain way. In this statement below Marcus Garvey said that black people need to be aware of propaganda. The pulpit carries on religious propaganda, the schoolroom carries on educational propaganda, the press carries on written propaganda, the cinema carries on demonstrative propaganda. These methods have be devised by the the white man to spread his ideas universally among men, that is why he is able in a major sense to control the minds of the people of the world. The white man is a great propagandist. He realizes fully and completely the value of propaganda. You must therefore organize your propaganda to undo the propaganda of other people, if their propaganda affects your interest. Never forget that you are surrounded in a world of propaganda, all dressed up or cooped up to suit a doubtful public who is not careful with what it digests as coming from without. The artist is also a propagandist, he paints pictures to convey the idea he wants to impress upon the non-thinking and doubtful public. The pictures of Madonna, of Christ and the angels are painted portraying a white race, so as to inflict upon the rest of the world that God, the angels and the Holy family are white, as well as Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve were blacks. They also paint the Devil and imps of hell black to impress the world that all that is black is evil and all that is white is good and holy. Tear down from your walls all pictures that do not glorify your race. Tear up and burn every bit of propaganda that does not carry your ideas of things, treat it as trash. When you go to the cinema and see the glorification of others in pictures, don't accept it, don't believe it as true. Visualize yourself instead as achieving whatsoever is presented. You should always match propaganda with propaganda. Have your own newspapers, have your own artist, have your own sculptors, have your own pulpit, have your own platform, print your own books and show your own motion pictures. Paint your own pictures and sculpture your own subjects. Never accept your subjects as of another race, but glorify all the good in yourselves. Keep your home free and clear of alien objects, of other races on glorification, otherwise your children will grow up to adore and glorify other people. Put in the places of others the heroes and noble characters of your own race. Never allow your children to play with and have white dolls, it will give them the idea of having white children themselves. Give them dolls of their own race to play with, and they will grow up with the idea of race love and race purity. Watch the newspapers, daily magazines and journals for propaganda against your race or your institutions, and rush into print immediately to defend your race, institutions, and organizations from attack. Never allow an insult propagated to go unanswered by you. Be ever vigilant to down anything by way of propaganda that dishonors or discredit you. Don't help the other fellow to carry on propaganda against yourself and your race. Don't accept the thought of others through propaganda except it coincides with yours. Don't follow the band down the street because it plays sweet music to the propaganda of the circus manager, he may lead you into the circus tent and take away your pocket book. That is to say don't get on anybody's bandwagon, because he may drive you to hell with his sweet music. Propaganda organized by somebody else is always calculated to take advantage of you, do help them. Don't sing songs and repeat the praises that glorify other races. Sing your own songs and recite your own praises that glorify your own race. As for instance it is foolish for Negros to sing or say "Britons never shall be slaves" when they themselves have been slaves. Sing therefore "Negros never shall be slaves". Be careful how you sing religious hymns, written, dished up and made popular by white white writers to glorify the white race in the name of God, taking advantage of the silence of God to impress inferiority upon your race, such as "The great white wings of angels", "The white throne of God", "Wash me whiter than snow". All these damnably vicious propaganda against the black race. "Though my sins be scarlet they be whiter than wool" All these things reflect the propaganda of the white man to glorify his skin and his race as against the black imps of hell and the black pull of gloom. The idea of the white man making black a symbol of mourning and sadness is just to show the extreme of the purity of whiteness and it's joy and happiness. Reverse it. If possible teach the Negro that when he is in mourning wear white, and when he is in joy wear black. This is meeting propaganda with propaganda, the hatchet with the hatchet, the stick with the stick, the stone with the stone. Never allow false statements or allegations against your race to become current and pass into history, as if it were true. That statement from Marcus Garvey came from this book below called Marcus Garvey Life and Lessons. That statement starts on page 290.
